First | Last: 20th Anniversary Concert

Seraphic Fire

Neither Separated, Nor Undone by Derrick Skye; Dixit Dominus by Marianna von Martines (1744-1812); Dixit Dominus by W.A. Mozart; Three Village Scenes by Béla Bartók

The Cecilia Chorus of New York
Carnegie Hall

A jubilant counterpoint of musical styles and cultural influences. In a world premiere from Derrick Skye (“enormous fun to listen to,” LA Times), a sparkling new cantata surveys our troubled world and finds a humane and optimistic response. The first-ever Carnegie Hall performance of a luminous choral-orchestral work by Mozart's Viennese contemporary Marianna von Martines, presented in dialogue with the 18-year-old Mozart's exuberant treatment of the same text. Rounding out the program: a toe-tapping triptych by Bartók, whom Skye has named as a source of inspiration.
