Choral Arts Initiative presents the West Coast premiere of Kile Smith’s 65-minute Canticle, which sets the stunning Spiritual Canticle text by Saint John of the Cross – a canticle poem that he authored and memorized while imprisoned for nine months. The canticle poem is an allegory that uses the metaphor of marriage to explain the mystical process that follows the soul until it reaches its union with God.
