The Moment of Poetry: A Festival of Music and Verse
Church hymns, love songs, the lullabies we sing to our children: each of these are artistic expressions inspired by, and based on, poetry. But poetry’s impact isn’t just limited to the arts. Today, many different individuals and groups are using poetry to aid organizational and community development efforts. To explore the different ways poetry is making itself present in our modern society, we’re complementing our usual end of season performances with a day-long series of TED-style talks. Each will showcase how different communities and organizations are using poetry and music to deepen their mission impact, aid healing and improve working relationships.

Muehleisen: But Who Shall Return Us Our Children?: A Kipling Passion
This spring, Choral Arts NW reprises the revised version of this concert-length oratorio for choir with vocal soloists and chamber orchestra composed by CANW’s 2016-17 Composer-in-Residence, John Muehleisen.
This work commemorates the centennial of World War I by focusing on the historical account of Lieutenant John Kipling’s 1915 death at the Battle of Loos, and its impact on his famous parents, Rudyard and Carrie Kipling. The narrative touches on a number of issues relevant to our own time, and places special focus on the challenges faced by warriors and their families.
