An evening of music featuring compostions by First Unitarian‘s Music Director, Michael Thorn. Of special note are two premieres; the US premier of Thorn’s Sonata for Cello and Piano, and the world premiere of “Song of the Universal”, a choral piece based on poetry from Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”, specially commissioned to celebrate First Unitarian’s 175th Anniversary. Music has always been a vital part of church life, and on April 30th we will be celebrating that part of our heritage with this very special concert.

First Unitarian Church, 5650 S. Woodlawn Ave., Chicago. Saturday, April 30th at 7:30pm. Tickets: General admission – $20; Students and seniors – $15.
