ComposeArts brings you the Kinderland Song Cycle.

This collection of children’s songs by Angela Rice—arranged by Daniel Arnold—celebrates childhood joy, imagination, colors, counting, and family moments.

Featuring the beautiful and comforting voice of soprano Ellie Wnek and the talented piano artistry of Adam Zoolalian, these songs capture the gentle, lyrical world of childhood.

Your donation to Bluegrass Gives helps us bring this project to life as a fully staged production.

Even though ComposeArts produces and promotes the original works of Angela Rice, we are about more than one artist. Every piece Angela creates means vocalists get cast, musicians get hired, and performers earn professional experience.

When you support new work creation, you support an entire artistic ecosystem.

He is Risen! Happy Easter from ComposeArts

As we celebrate the joy and hope of the Resurrection, we reflect on the incredible journey of "Thy Will Be Done" —our Easter oratorio that brought the story of Jesus' life, sacrifice, and triumph to audiences across Kentucky.

From the first note to the final bow, each performance was a sacred offering—uniting hearts through music, faith, and storytelling. Thank you for being part of this meaningful experience and for allowing us to share this message of redemption and love.

As we reflect on the final memories of this year’s Thy Will Be Done tour, our hearts are full of gratitude. 💜

Thank you to every soul who attended, supported, sang, played, volunteered, prayed, and believed in the power of this oratorio. Each performance was a testament to faith, community, and the story that changed the world.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Easter Sunday—a day of resurrection, renewal, and hope. May the message of Thy Will Be Done continue to echo in your hearts as we rejoice in the miracle of Easter.

He is risen. He is risen indeed. ✝

Wishing you a Good Friday filled with the hope and promise of Easter, from all of us at ComposeArts.

As Easter approaches, we reflect on the power of music to tell a sacred story.
"Thy Will Be Done" brought the journey of Jesus to life on stages across Kentucky—but the message continues in our hearts.

🎶 May this Holy Week be filled with peace, gratitude, and the deep hope found in the resurrection story.
