Nathan Gunn and Stephen Burdsall are thrilled to be featuring songs by Caleb Wayman in a fully staged program designed to highlight Wayman's songs, which explore love: familial, platonic, and romantic. The music of the program is selected from his larger body of work, with a few works newly composed specifically for the singers in the cast. The texts are primarily written by Wayman himself, but also feature the poetry from great English poet William Ernest Henley and one of the most influential poets in American literature: Walt Whitman. This event will be free and open to the public, performed in the “Friendship Center” at the First United Methodist Church in Champaign
