Ohio-based Dayton Performing Arts Alliance (DPAA) will conclude its 2022-2023 Stained Glass Series with a concert on Sunday, June 11, at New Season Ministry in Huber Heights.

The concert will feature the Dayton Philharmonic conducted by Neal Gittleman, along with collaborations with New Season Ministry’s choir and musicians.

The program will feature soprano Kayla Oderah, the Dayton Opera Artist-in-Residence, who will perform “Ginuse alfin il momento/Deh vieni non tardar” from “The Marriage of Figaro.” She will also showcase a rendition of Hal Johnson’s African American spiritual, “Witness.” The concert will conclude with a combined performance of the beloved Gospel song, “Goodness of God.”

“Back in the dark days of Spring 2020, New Season Ministry was the first church to have its Stained Glass Concert canceled due to COVID,” said Dayton Philharmonic Artistic Director and Conductor Neal Gittleman in an official press statement.  “It would have been their first time hosting the series.  But the folks at New Season turned their disappointment into enthusiasm for keeping the Stained Glass Series going through the pandemic.”

The Stained Glass Series is made possible by the generous underwriting of the Bob Ross Auto Group in memory of Norma Ross, a passionate advocate for music and minority youth. The concert is open to the public and does not require tickets for entry.
