“In the dark times, Will there also be singing?"

Our final concert of the 2023 season will be a world premier composed by Charlie Leftridge called In the Dark Times, which uses poetry of all Nebraska poets: Ted Koozer, Marjorie Saiser, Clarissa Bucklin, and Mary K. Stillwell.

This collection of songs, specially crafted soprano and string quartet seeks to answer Bertold Brecht's question: "In the dark times, Will there also be singing?"

All Salt Creek Song Festival events are free and open to the public. Reception to follow.

Many thanks to our sponsors for the evening, Chris Nellis-White with CMG Financial and Alex Nellis-White with Omaha Marriott Regency.
