The Hinesburg Artist Series is bringing back Dan Forrest's "Jubilate Deo" on Sunday, May 22, at St. Jude Catholic Church in Hinesburg, with performances at 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Originally scheduled for March 2020, members of the Hinesburg Artist Series are thrilled to finally perform this marvelous work for the community.
Set in seven different languages and drawing from a wide spectrum of musical influences, "Jubilate Deo" is very accessible to all listeners. With text in Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Zulu, Spanish and English, the piece is a symbolic gesture of unity between cultures while the music has universal appeal. The performance will include vocal soloists Amy Frostman, and Amy Patrick. There will also be a featured violin duet featuring Chris Stork and Kimberley Durflinger, a Shostakovich trio with Chris stork violin, Margaret Roddy clarinet, and Evan Allen Piano, and a piano duet featuring Evan Allen, and Sammy Angstman.
"We are so grateful to the community for the support we've seen over the past two years," says music director Rufus Patrick. "Some of our advertisers, like Lantman's Market in Hinesburg, continued to support us even when the concert was canceled. And so many in the community have let us know how happy they are that we are performing again."

"Jubilate Deo" is one of the most exciting pieces we have ever performed. Some movements are so joyful we can barely keep from dancing in our seats, and others are sublimely beautiful. This is a concert not to be missed!
