2007-2008 Performances

3 Living Composers, 5 Premieres

:: 3 Living Composers, 5 Premieres (June 7-8, 2008)

We started working on the June program with the goal of making it into a memorable choral experience. The basic idea was to center the performance around specially commissioned pieces for the New Choir. We are very happy to let you know that we have successfully secured commissions by three composers and they came through with some wonderful new music.
The New Choir will be premiering a total of five new compositions. This is pretty amazing and we're very excited. Be sure to mark your calendar with the June concert dates. You will not want to miss out on these unique performances!

This engaging 25-voice chamber choir will offer a diverse program of classical and contemporary music. Reflecting the Korean heritage of the group’s director and most of the choir members, the program will feature captivating original works, by Korean and Korean-American composers, commissioned for the group. This will be a delightfully different program of music you’ll likely hear nowhere else!

The convention took place from March 1 to March 4. We performed on the first day of the convention and, to our surprise and delight, our program was very well received. (We even got a standing ovation!) We will provide more details and photos soon.
