"Virtuosic, professional choir.
Nightingale can be counted on for originality of tight thematic programming."
THE BOSTON MUSICAL INTELLIGENCER
A NEW WAY TO BREATHE - MAY 1st, 6pm and MAY 3rd, 4pm
May 1st, 6PM - GORDON CHAPEL AT OLD SOUTH CHURCH, BOSTON
May 3rd, 4PM - FIRST PARISH CHURCH, WESTON
Nightingale wraps up the season with a collaboration with composer Juhi Bansal for the premiere and recording of A New Way to Breathe, a choral cycle for SATB chorus and cello with poetry by linguist, poet, aphasia, and stroke-survivor Farzana Marie.
From the composer:
"This project – which will be premiered and recorded by Nightingale Vocal Ensemble, centers on Farzana’s poetry, and on the universal experience of transformation. It’s about how we keep going when our lives are suddenly ripped apart, changed, shattered, and ultimately - transformed - by something so much bigger than we ever thought we could survive.” Rounding out the program are a world premiere of I Believe in the Sun by Andrew List as well as works by Melissa Dunphy, Katerina Gimon, and Joan Szymko.
