In our final Detroit concert, Akropolis collaborates with Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond on a work for soprano and reed quintet by Nico Muhly titled “Hymns for Private Use.”

Having followed Shara’s work for several years, not many people can front a rock band, sing Górecki’s Third Symphony, lead a marching band processional down the streets of the Sundance film festival and perform in a baroque opera of their own composing all in a month’s time. But Shara Nova can.

This concert will also feature compositions created by 3 Detroit High School students and additional contemporary works for reed quintet.
