Musica Viva NY Performs CRIMSON ROSES: A Choral Concert of Commissioned Works by Joseph Turrin, Gilda Lyons, and Richard Einhorn, Sunday, Dec 3 at All Souls, NYC

Hailed as “a treasured institution (Front Row Center),” New York City’s leading chamber choir, Musica Viva NY, highlights one of its most important missions: the commissioning of new works. On Sunday, December 3, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., at All Souls on the Upper East Side, 30+ singers and orchestra perform gorgeous music by three living American composers: Joseph Turrin, Gilda Lyons, and Richard Einhorn. This performance is part of a journey that will culminate in an ambitious professional recording (Naxos, TBR 2024) of the pieces presented on this program. Making her Musica Viva NY debut is mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, just prior to her 2024 induction to OPERA America’s Opera Hall of Fame.
