Featuring a guest orchestra, the choruses of UC Davis — the Concert Choir and the Chamber Singers — join together to perform choral music with texts that often center on homeland and migration. Where is home? Is it where you have been or where you are going? From India to China to Britain, Mexico, Africa, Syria and Iraq, the concert selections paint pictures of movement, faith and beauty across many cultures and time periods. The program ends with J.S. Bach’s uplifting Magnificat.
