Beyond the Sanctuary Walls

Houston’s artist-led, artist-curated Kinetic Ensemble closes its season with Behind the Sanctuary Walls, a new work by award-winning composer Theo Chandler for soprano, solo bass, and string orchestra. Featuring dynamic soprano Alexandra Smither and Cleveland Orchestra bassist Charles Paul, Behind the Sanctuary Walls explores the intertwining nature of intimacy and distance, connection and separation, capturing the extremes of human experience across five movements. This concert is generally sponsored by our friend, John Epstein.
