Already establishing itself as a leader in the professional treble choir world, Vox Lusciniae continues its mission to support new, innovative music for treble voices with its second concert series in Western New York: AN EXPLOSION OF BEING.
This second program featured ten pieces, many of which were world or regional premieres, by composers representing nine countries. Christian Bährens, Francisco Acquista, and Glenn McClure have written pieces dedicated to Vox Lusciniae specifically for this concert series, and Argentinian composer Santiago Veros joined us at our dress rehearsal and our first concert. Andrea Eklund’s Sommarlängtan and Henrik Dahlgren’s God’s Great Dust Storm made a return to this program as favorites from our inaugural concert.
