A NEW WAY TO BREATHE - MAY 1st & 3rd
May 1st, 6 PM - GORDON CHAPEL AT OLD SOUTH CHURCH, BOSTON May 3rd, 7PM - MIDDLE CHURCH SANCTUARY, NEW YORK Tickets available soon Nightingale wraps up the season with a collaboration with composer Juhi Bansal and Nightingale producer Rose Hegele, for the premiere and recording of A New Way to Breathe. This project will feature 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.” |
