Marianne Parker (piano) and Megan Ihnen (voice) perform a unique program featuring works by Shawn Okpebholo, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Augusta Read Thomas, Scott Gendel, and more. This recital explores themes around the Barbara Winkler quote, “Every gardener knows under the cloak of winter lies a miracle – a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.” Listeners will hear music that evokes ideas around personal growth, evolving roles in life, and the unwavering forward motion amid uncertainty that exists in that space.
