Featuring works for choir and orchestra, Lehigh University Choral Arts presents a concert of music that questions the nature of life and provides comfort. Repertoire includes the tumultous Insanae et vanae curae by Franz Joseph Haydn, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel's Hiob, and a comforting psalm setting by her brother, Felix Mendelssohn. Sarah Frook Gallo, director; Liz Olson, associate director.

The Intersection Trio characterizes its performances as “events.” The group’s appearance on the CMLV stage during the 2022-2023 season was certainly more than a concert, although the music alone was to die for. Added to that treat, however, was a glamorous fashion show; friendly, funny, and interesting commentary; and a rich potpourri of solo, duo, and trio programming. Individually, cellist Kristina Reiko Cooper, violinist Laura Frautschi, and pianist John Novacek have been nominated for a Grammy, starred in a Mark Wahlberg documentary, and toured the world as concertmaster for the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Together, the three are both popular (frequently seen on magazine covers, on television, and in commercials) and renowned (with recording roots in Japan and bookings worldwide).
