Angels Unaware Sir James MacMillan
Soundstreams

Renowned British composer Sir James MacMillan conducts the North American premiere of his new oratorio Angels Unawares, featuring the virtuoso chamber orchestra Ensemble Soundstreams, and Soundstreams Choir 21. Angels Unawares is a biblical phrase that appeals to us to treat all individuals with dignity and compassion, implying that angels might be present in everyday life, unnoticed. The program includes the premieres of six short new works by participants in Soundstreams Bridges Emerging Composers Program, mentored by James MacMillan.
