Songs of the Phoenix is a major, 10-movement choral work. It had its world premiere in April 2022 in San Francisco. At that time, we were coming out of 2 years of dormancy/hibernation which brought unimaginable dark times to the world and hit the performing arts especially hard. Singing together was taken away. Being together was taken away. And while we were apart, we were brought to our knees by social injustices. Songs of the Phoenix will capture that moment when the spirit begins to rise, revived by the sun, sings glorious music and reports from the sky the glory of all of us below.The work will focus on victory, rebirth, joy - all of which are often born from tragedy and loss. Each of the lyricists and composers will bring stories of their own cultural, spiritual, and emotional experiences.
