On the Horizon

On the Horizon presents a groundbreaking musical exploration of climate change and our planet's future, featuring the world premiere of a concert-length composition by acclaimed Philadelphia composer Melissa Dunphy. This powerful work, created in partnership with Commonwealth Youth Choir, gives voice to young people's perspectives on one of the most pressing issues of our time. Dunphy's composition weaves together a tapestry of sound, contrasting moments of anxiety and trauma with the joy and hope found in nature and human cooperation. The libretto, crafted from the words of participating youth, serves as both a poignant expression of their views and a resounding call to action.

Experience this transformative musical journey at the historic Girard College Chapel on Saturday, April 5th at 4pm, as we confront the challenges of our changing world and envision a path forward together.
