Upcoming Performances

“Rooted and Rising: Reflections of Autumn”  Friday, Nov 7th, 2025 7:30pm Ingram Hall, Blair School of Music  

Join us for an evening of choral beauty and seasonal reflection as the Vanderbilt Community Chorus continues its 25th anniversary celebration with a concert that honors the turning of time and the richness of fall.

This autumnal program features Jake Runestad’s stirring Come to the Woods as its centerpiece—a vivid musical journey through nature’s grandeur and solitude. The concert also includes:

• Autumn by Ola Gjeilo
• Abide by Dan Forrest
• Harvest by Jacob Narverud
• Blow Winds of Fall by John Parker & Greg Gilpin
• The Peace of Wild Things by Sean Ivory
• Dante’s Prayer by Riley Crabtree — a heartfelt original work by one of our own chorus members

As the leaves turn and the air deepens, we invite you to gather with us in song—rooted in tradition, rising in harmony, and reflecting on the season’s quiet beauty.

The concert is free and a reception will follow the performance!

Free parking is available at the Vanderbilt West Parking Garage on Children’s Way, directly across from Blair School of Music.
