Discover love's nuances through classic and contemporary a cappella music in Clerestory's A Many Splendored Thing, Nov 11-12.

David Brower Center

Of all the human emotions, the most powerful is love. As Euripedes wrote, it is “the greatest pleasure in life;” according to Socrates, it “frees us from life’s weight and pain.” The single English word ‘love’ carries many meanings, while Greek offers a kaleidoscopic love language from the friendship of philia, the storge of parents, the philautia of compassion, and the eros of desire.Clerestory’s program A Many Splendored Thing explores love in all its forms and facets. From composers like Ivan Hrušovský to longtime Clerestory favorites Gerald Finzi and Stacy Garrop, and to Rodgers and Hart, we invite you to learn Clerestory’s a cappella love language this November.
