| After the previous year's immersion in the sounds and images of the Grand Canyon, Sound Circle turned to the world of musical theatre, mixing familiar standards with contemporary repertoire to create a lush and moonlit musical world. Original arrangements and compositions by Schmit-Lobis, passionate harmonies, inspired juxtapositions, and a mix of a cappella and accompanied music combine in a collection of love songs that is at its core a concert in love with life. This cabaret-style concert is unlike anything you've heard from Sound Circle before. |

| Additional collaborators included jazz vocalist Rene Marie, Southwestern singer/songwriter Becky Reardon, harpist Christine Tulis with percussionist Kem Stralka, hammer dulcimer artist Bonnie Carol, and Tree Andrew playing Native American flute. | |
| The goal of this performance, a continuous flow of song, soundscape, and visual imagery, is to offer the audience a contemplative journey through the Grand Canyon. The concert was born out of passions for both the Grand Canyon and choral singing shared by Sound Circle Artistic Director Sue Coffee and Christopher Brown. The concert moves between visual and aural, realistic and abstract, song and sound. | |
| Music by composers including Malcolm Dalglish, Bobby McFerrin, Bill Douglas, Kimmerjae Makarus, and Mary Ellen Childs, Rene Marie, Becky Reardon, Joan Szymko, poetry by Joy Harjo, and more, intertwine with improvisational material and soundscape. |
