Voices of Spring - locally composed music for choir

Voices of Spring - locally composed music for choir

Want to meet living composers who are still composing music? Live choral music by composers who will likely still be living on Saturday, May 16th will be presented at 2 pm in the SOU Music Recital Hall, by the National Association of Composers, USA, Southern Oregon chapter. NACUSA-SOR's composers William Ashworth, I'lana Cotton, Ken Deveney, Ethan Gans-Morse, Mark Jacobs, Beth B. Martin, Aletha Nowitzky, Vanessa Nowitzky, Melissa Orr, and Greg A Steinke have composed original choral works for up to nine talented singers, including guest vocalist Laurel Irene, called by the LA Times "astonishing... superhuman". Her husband, renowned L.A. musician David Harris, will conduct and sing, and fantastic local pianist Jodi French accompanies. Harris and Irene teach at the California Institute of the Arts and cofounded VoiceScienceWorks, a website for scientific vocal research: http://www.voicescienceworks.org/. Please bring ears of love to Voices of Spring!
