Feminine Fusion

S4-17: Turning Time

“Everything passes, but nothing entirely goes away.”  – Jenny Diski

We are at a tipping point, that moment when one year turns to the next.  As we head into the next decade, we’ll take a trip through time, from Medieval days to modern.  It’s music that is sacred and secular, including the latest Pulitzer Prize-winning work from Ellen Reid.  We’ll also take note of what the future has in store.
