NatPhil and The Washington Chorus are thrilled to present their next collaboration, One Song: Exultávit, bringing together musical traditions from both East and West to highlight shared humanity and cross-cultural identity. This program features J.S. Bach’s beloved setting of the Magnificat and Reena Esmail’s extraordinary new work This Love Between Us: Prayers for Unity, which melds Western and Indian classical music traditions. Both works explore the power of prayer, humility, and kindness — imagining a future where more unites us than divides us, and the least among us matter the most.
