As our community, country, and world was shaken to the core by a world-wide pandemic, all people have found themselves crying out. There have been cries of pain for the loss of a loved-one, cries of loneliness and hurt from isolation, and cries of gratefulness for help from a friend. The Heart Cries Out put music and poetry to these cries, featuring Bach’s Komm, Jesu, Komm, as the centerpiece, and a new commission from our composer-in-residence, James Eakin III, with a commissioned text by Charles Anthony Silvestri.
