Hymn for Everyone is a modern twist on music from the past with contemporary creations inspired by Guillaume de Machaut, Hildegard von Bingen, and François Couperin.

Journey across centuries and continents in a single evening. Experience Osvaldo Golijov’s luminous cello concerto Azul, alongside Christopher Theofanidis’s shimmering Rainbow Body, woven from a chant by the medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen. With Kevin Puts’s Virelai and Daniel Henley, the Young Musician Competition winner, on marimba, this program offers a rare blend of ancient inspiration, global rhythms, and contemporary orchestral color that feels both timeless and brand new.

*Join us for a “Prelude!”, a pre-concert talk and Q&A with WVSO Music Director Nikolas Caoile at the Numerica PAC concert hall. Get ready for the show and dive into insights about our concert program.

Enjoy a pop-up art exhibition by the selected artists of NCW Arts Alliance before the show and during the concert intermission.
