Brightwork Ensemble soprano Stacey Fraser joins her bandmates in a program featuring works by Daniel Kessner, John Cage, Kurt Weill, and George E. Lewis. Together, they explore nature, spirituality, the fragility of humanity and the wonderfully unfiltered thoughts that pop into Fraser’s head on her daily runs—proof that inspiration is only ever a few kilometers away.
