Poems & Parables
February 27 • 08:00 PM
Meridian Street United Methodist Church
This unique concert blends both the touching and the humorous as revealed in poetry set to choral music and parables written and delivered by well-known humorist Philip Gulley. Encore Vocal Arts' special brand of choral music is highlighted by Bloomington composer Malcolm Dalglish and other skilled songwriters' work paired with the very best in poetry by Wendell Berry and a host of others. The poems will be woven together by Gulley's tongue-in-cheek humor and dry delivery style to produce a great evening of a look at the human condition--with its beauty marks and pockmarks alike.
