Phoenix Song Debut

PHOENIX SONG, for all of us affected by the Pulse nightclub tragedy of June 12, 2016, on a text by Scott Lounsbury, premiered on January 21st in Orlando. Andrew Minear conducted the Orange County High School All-County Chorus for its first performance. Though I was not able to attend the concert, I shared my thoughts about the poem and composition with the singers and lead them in rehearsal the day before. They were thoughtful and reflective, and sang with real sensitivity and conviction.
