SUMMARY:GREAT BEND CHORALE - I WAS A STRANGER
DESCRIPTION:The Great Bend 2025-26 season concludes with I Was a Stranger\, a poignant program that reflects on mercy\, grief\, and the power of welcome.  \nThe journey begins with Samuel Barber’s Agnus Dei\, a choral setting of his iconic Adagio for Strings\, transforming its familiar ache into a sacred plea for peace and forgiveness.  \nFrom this place of solemn reflection\, Andrey Stolyarov’s Out of the Depths offers a cry for mercy drawn from Psalm 130 – music born of personal loss\, gradually unfolding from sorrow into a luminous expression of hope.  \nThe program culminates with John Muehleisen’s Borders\, a sweeping\, multicultural cantata commissioned by Great Bend for the Chorale’s 2019 Carnegie Hall debut. The American-prize winning work opens with a traditional Salish welcome and weaves together global folk melodies and poetry from Emma Lazarus\, Brian Bilston\, and Alberto Ríos. Borders offers a powerful meditation on hospitality\, identity\, and belonging.  \nTogether\, these works create a moving narrative that invites us to see the stranger not as “other\,” but as kin. \nPROGRAM\nBarber “Agnus Dei”\nStoylarov “Out of the Depths”\nMuehleisen “Borders”\n\nTICKETS\nGeneral Admission – $22\nSenior / Military – $18\nStudent – $5 at the door\n\nDATES\nFriday\, June 5\, 2026 | 7 PM\nFaith Lutheran Church\n1212 Connection St.\, Shelton\, WA\n\nSunday\, June 7\, 2026 | 4 PM\nOlympia First Methodist Church\n1224 Legion Way SE.\, Olympia\, WA
