The Voci Community Choir, a Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association vocal ensemble, is delighted to announce their upcoming winter concert, On This Shining Night. This luminous and heartfelt program explores the beauty, warmth, and hope found in light during the darkest months of the year. Audiences will be treated to an evening of radiant harmonies, stirring contemporary works, and cherished seasonal favorites that celebrate the power of illumination—both literal and metaphorical.
Under the artistic direction of Dan Kenealy, Voci has become known for expressive performances and thoughtful, diverse programming. On This Shining Night draws its inspiration from Morten Lauridsen’s beloved setting of the James Agee poem, a centerpiece of the program that reflects on compassion, wonder, and the quiet brilliance present in ordinary moments. The concert invites listeners on a reflective journey shaped by serenity, warmth, and shared human experience.
The program will include:

Sure on This Shining Night by Morten Lauridsen — the emotional and thematic heart of the concert
Glow by Eric Whitacre — a shimmering contemporary favorite composed for the World of Color Honor Choir
A cappella and accompanied works exploring themes of light, peace, and winter reflection
Contemporary selections composed and/or arranged by local composers Duncan Krummel and Linda Taylor
Audience singalong opportunities, continuing Voci’s cherished community tradition

In addition to its central works, On This Shining Night showcases music that captures the many facets of winter: the stillness of quiet evenings, the glow of shared celebration, and the guiding light we offer one another. From tender, introspective pieces to those filled with warmth and wonder, the program reflects both the softness and brilliance of the season.
Director Kenealy notes, “This concert shines from within. Each piece offers its own perspective on light, and together they create an atmosphere of warmth and connection. In a time of year when we often seek comfort and community, this program is an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience beauty together.”
Audiences of all ages are invited to join Voci for an unforgettable evening of choral artistry, seasonal glow, and communal joy.
Tickets for On This Shining Night can be purchased at gorgeorchestra.org or at the venue on the day of the performance. Advance purchases are recommended. CGOA offers $5 tickets for SNAP and QUEST cardholders and free admission for children and students with ID. Regular ticket prices are $25, and $20 for CGOA members.

TWO RUNNER
Two Runner is songwriter Paige Anderson and fiddler Emilie Rose from the hills of Northern California. The folk duo emits a ray of unprocessed realness through their well-crafted songs and instrumental skills. Both growing up in a rural mountain town, best friends Paige Anderson and Emilie Rose learned folk music and performance from a young age, and now tour nationally as Two Runner. Through the mediums of clawhammer banjo, vocal harmonies, oldtime fiddle, and flatpicking guitar, Two Runner has a sound that is strongly rooted in American folk musiccombined with Paige’s wistful songwriting. Two Runner self-released their debut album, Modern Cowboy, in the spring of 2023 and have shared the stage with Sierra Ferrell, Watchhouse, Jesse Daniel, Nick Shoulders, Charlie Parr and many more.
Songwriter Paige Anderson grew up touring in her family bluegrass band, Anderson Family Bluegrass, starting at the age of 9. The family of six traveled for about 12 years as Anderson Family Bluegrass and later the sibling band, The Fearless Kin. Paige wrote her first song with Chuck Ragan at 15, which kickstarted her love for songwriting.Transitioning into diverse musical roles, including a stint as bassist for Family of the Year in 2018, Paige has continually evolved her craft, charting new artistic directions for herself and Two Runner.
Fiddler Emilie Rose was raised on Celtic fiddle and fiddle camps starting at the age of 9. In her early years, she led Celtic trio, The String Sisters, who played together for 10 years in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Emilie then went on to study at Berklee College of Music and was mentored by the greats such as Bruce Molsky, Natalie Haas, and Darol Anger, where she graduated in 2020. She moved back to Northern California and later in the year met Paige Anderson for the first time, as neighbors and joined Two Runner.
Together, the duo has been touring for over 2 years solidly, forging their sound and path through festivals and venues, winding highways and friendship. It’s undeniable that Two Runner brings a rich mix to the folk music world, with their harmonies, banjo pickin’, and dirt kickin’ duo.
EMILY LOVEEmily Love is a country musician from Portland, Oregon, known for songwriting that’s as literate and witty as it is melodic. Drawing deep from the well of classic country, her sound bridges tradition and modern storytelling. She performs both as a solo artist and with her honky-tonk band, The Highliners. Her full-length debut album, Heart of a Fool, was released in September 2025.
