Alsum’s program will feature numerous musical styles and composers, including J.S. Bach, Jehan Alain, and Olivier Messiaen. Dordt University senior Miranda Munson will be featured as a soprano soloist. The program will follow a musical journey of darkness and grief to light and joy, concluding with a transcription of Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter: the Bringer of Jollity” from The Planets: Suite for Organ.
