Stones to Sky

The LOTUS Project professional ensemble returns on January 31, 2026 with its hallmark programming: bold, luminous, and deeply human. This concert explores the spirit of innovation and discovery that has propelled humankind from the cathedrals of the Renaissance to the outer edges of the cosmos.

From Guillaume Dufay’s Nuper Rosarum Flores, a sonic architecture inspired by the dome of Florence Cathedral, to Eric Whitacre’s visionary Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, each work reimagines the intersection of curiosity, faith, and creation. The program traverses centuries and continents: the elemental power of Veljo Tormis’s Raua Needmine (Curse Upon Iron) to the modern reflections of Vienna Teng’s Hymn of Axiom and Marie-Claire Saindon’s The Girl with the Numbers.

Through voices alone, LOTUS traces the blueprints of human wonder, our inventions, our questions, our unending reach toward light.
