Coming Home Banner Fetz

The Arizona Masterworks Chorale explores the many stories of “coming home” with songs of return and restoration.

There’s the story of returning to a warm and familiar family gathering, as in traditional holiday pieces (“There’s no place like home for the holidays”).  But  also stories of refugees fleeing violence in their homelands or returning after a brutal regime is toppled; those who’ve lost homes and loved ones to catastrophes like last year’s hurricanes and the recent fires in Los Angeles; and those who after years of homelessness, rough living, and medical trauma have to build an entirely new understanding of what it means to have a safe and secure place to live.

Be with us to hear these and more, through the exquisite beauty of poetry and sound, with special guests from Circle the City.
