Des Moines Vocal Arts Ensemble Anniversary

The Des Moines Vocal Arts Ensemble celebrated their 20th anniversary this weekend and sang a memorable concert that honored their history and looked to the future.  As part of the program they presented three premiere performances, those of student composition contest winners Ben Sides and Stephen Lounsbrough, and my WHEN THOU COMMANDEST ME TO SING, the commissioned work in honor of the anniversary.  Conductor Tim McMillan and the singers brought the words of Rabindranath Tagore to life in a remarkable way.  I was happy to be with them for this significant occasion and wish them many more years of music-making and community-building in Des Moines!
