Happening this weekend! Out of towners - the performance will be accessible via livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/live/ZPBmeZGEyDI

On May 3rd, see the World Premier of a new work by St. Paul composer Becky Dale, which draws on the text from story circles for The Values Project we've been conducting for the last year. The first in a series of artistic projects for The Values Play Project, this is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Wonderlust and the Minnesota Chorale. Get tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/minnesota-chorale-family-of-choirs-presents-we-are-family-tickets-1625657608669?aff=oddtdtcreator

The piece will be performed by singers from 8 years old to over 80 from all four of the Chorale’s choirs on Sunday May 3, at 4 pm at Roseville Lutheran Church. Tickets run on a sliding scale from $0-50.

Becky is an ensemble member and composer who has written music for Hidden Herald, Our House: The Capitol Play Project, Lost and Found, and more.

This piece explores the impact of the culture wars in the context of our values from multiple points of view. Is it possible for all of us to live together as one safe, healthy community?
