Led by Evan Rogister, principal conductor of the Washington National Opera, "The Humming Chorus" depicts the hopeful emotional state of "Butterfly" holding vigil, waiting for her naval officer husband to return...waiting and refusing to give up. Much like all of America and the world in this current Pandemic.
