For the season finale, Jake will join Oregon Repertory Singers and Youth Choir to conduct many of his most powerful works live in concert. Oregon Repertory Singers will also present music by young Oregonian composer Joshua Rist, and a variety of American folk songs and spirituals as they prepare for their first international tour since 2017.
