This program, recorded on April 12 at Trinity University's Ruth Taylor Concert Hall, features the San Antonio-based a cappella choir Cantus Solis. This wasn’t just an evening of music; it was a mission-driven event, serving as a fundraiser for RAICES Texas, an organization dedicated to migrant justice and legal services for refugees. The program reflects themes of light, displacement, and the universal search for "home."

  • Ola Gjello – “Northern Lights”
