Like Streams in the Desert, September 29 at Indiana State University

Meira’s Like Streams in the Desert will be performed on Saturday September 29 at 7:30 PM by the Indiana State University Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Erik Rohde, at the school’s Tilson Auditorium (Tirey Hall) in Terra Haute.

Like Streams in the Desert was commissioned by the Dayton (OH) Philharmonic in honor of the 50th anniversary of the state of Israel. It is inspired by Psalm 126, whose theme is the return of exiles to Zion. Hear the piece below and read more about it at https://meirawarshauer.com/works/like-streams-in-the-desert/.
