"Darkness and Day" -- March 15, 16, 21, 22

Please join the members of InVocation
for our seventh season of song:

Darkness and Day”

Darkness: mystery, suffering, peace, beauty, patience, intimacy, safety, rest, romance, eternity

Day: hope, salvation, safety, beauty, happiness, glory, security, freedom, measurable unit of time

Darkness and day. Whatever understanding and experience you bring to those two words as an individual, together they encompass the entire human experience. The music in this program is stuffed with imagery—some concrete (fireflies, sunrise, Northern Lights) and some abstract (hope, humility, resurrection). The melodies of this music celebrate our common humanity in these moments of shadow and light; despair and hope; solitude, romance, and the joy of being part of a larger, mysterious whole.

Come and be part of the exploration. Be fed by beautiful music… and, while you’re at it, feed others by supporting our charity partners.


Concerts are free and open to the public. Proceeds from free-will offerings will benefit
this season’s charity partners: Minnehaha Food Shelf (March 15, 16, 22)
and Community Emergency Services (March 21).
