In every breath and chord, we are reminded that the songs we sing are possible because we are not alone—that our music, like our lives, is made whole by one another. Over the past two decades, the 18th Street Singers built a musical community that champions emerging voices, spotlights under-heard stories, and has helped to usher countless new pieces of choral music into the world. It is this literal synthesis–“combining of often diverse conceptions into a coherent whole”–in the musical stories we tell that make it only fitting that our spring concert is celebrated as such. Synthesis: A 20th Anniversary Celebration is not only a retrospective of where we’ve been, but a reaching outward—and looking inward—toward the future, asking: what does it mean to create music in community with one another? What do we owe to each other, as artists, as neighbors, as human beings?
