Alexandria Choral Society presents 'Lux: The Dawn from on High'

Join ACS and the Washington Metropolitan Youth Orchestra on March 19th for a performance of Dan Forrest's Lux: The Dawn From On High. Tickets are on sale now!

This five-movement work explores various facets of LUX (Latin for “light”), in texts ranging from ancient liturgical chant to Scripture to modern secular love poetry. The music of LUX, written in 2018, was inspired thematically and spiritually by these profound texts; visually by the light in the Reims Cathedral in France and at the Poulnabrone Dolmen in Ireland; and musically by a variety of musical sources from ancient chant to modern minimalist composers.

Note: All attendees must be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, and wear a mask at all times.

Following the performance, ACS will host its biggest fundraiser, the annual Silent Auction. Support ACS and local businesses by bidding on items and packages offered by Alexandria's finest. The evening will end with the raffle of a Getaway Package in Virginia Beach - purchase your raffle tickets today!
