In January and February of this year I had the privilege of working with composer Christopher Tin on his epic piece of music, Sogno di Volare (translation "Dream of Flight"), with over a thousand singers worldwide in The Stay at Home Choir.
On Friday April 30th, our recorded performance of Sogno di Volare premiered in audio form on BBC Three and La Scalia Radio stations and our video performance premiered this past Sunday, May 2nd. I'm enormously proud of being a part of this epic production that is glorious in both sound and visuals!
An artistic journey of perseverance and endurance through music, filmmaking, and poetry. The Washington Chorus, Eugene Rogers, Artistic Director, invites you to "Resilience," their upcoming digital choral program highlighting the power of music and the human spirit. In collaboration with visual artist Camilla Tassi and narrator Shannon Finney, this concert includes a world premiere excerpt from the TWC commissioned work Here's The Thing by Julian Wachner and Rome Prize-winning poet Samiya Bashir which features The Washington Chorus and Sphinx's EXIGENCE Vocal Ensemble accompanied by Wei-Han Wu; Ralph Vaughan Williams' sublime Serenade to Music featuring TWC soloists and violinist Akemi Takayama; pianist Lara Downes performing Margaret Bond's stunning composition Troubled Water and a stirring setting of Rollo Dilworth's Freedom's Plow featuring Dr. Dilworth on piano and guest tenor soloist LaVonte Heard.
