The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Composer-in-Residence Lembit Beecher collaborate on "Say Home", a new work featuring the voices of Twin Cities residents reflecting on the meaning of home. The world premiere performance concluded the orchestra's Tapestry19 festival.

About Tapestry19:

Tapestry is a new biennial festival that uses the language of music to explore issues faced by our community and invites members of our community to lend their voices and viewpoints to the exploration. In the inaugural 2019 festival, Tapestry19, the SPCO delves into the concept of home — where, when and how we feel at home in a dynamic and ever-changing world. Tapestry19 deals with a central question: “How do I recognize my home?” SPCO Music Alive Composer-in-Residence Lembit Beecher and musicians of the SPCO have curated Tapestry19 to include many musical responses to that question from a diverse set of composers and artists and engage with a wide range of collaborators to explore home from their unique perspectives.
