Conducting

Regular readers know that I’m taking a big group of singers to New York and conducting a concert at Carnegie Hall on March 28. Please send us good vibes from wherever you are, and we’ll give you a full report in the next issue! For now, here’s more about the project:

Let My Love Be Heard
feat. Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast
Tuesday, March 28 at 8PM 
Stern Auditorium, Carnegie Hall

This compelling program features a commissioned work, Truth,  by indigenous artist Sage Bond and arranged by Zanaida Robles.  It asks urgent questions about who is seen and heard, historically and into the present day.
