Art meets spirit and science. Surrounded by glimmering voices, the viola’s rare beauty opens a night of sensitive and impassioned string playing. The Los Angeles Times said Denali’s Amazing Grace will “knock your socks off.”  Glass approved our suite from his masterpiece. It features favorite voices from KPCC & KUSC joined by a Broadway star (Ain’t Misbehavin’), two choruses and a rapturous, sometimes blistering, violin.
