Ember, the critically acclaimed choral ensemble of Schola Cantorum on
Hudson, will present a live and virtual, season finale concert where we examine this period in our lives between what was and what
will be. We learned new ways of living and working; new ways of being
human with other humans. Some changes we will certainly be glad to forfeit as
soon as we can. Others we may elect to retain, having learned new things that
enhance life. Tickets .

In our “Release” and “Emerge” series, we seek to express observations about what we can learn from this time of global pandemic. Certainly, we have all ceased activities as usual for a time. Equally universal is a desire to reconnect with the world, as health realities allow. The questions we ask in this concert are how do we emerge from this time of relative dormancy? Do we “go back” to all as it used to be? Can we really even “go back?”
The concert will begin with “To Sit and Dream” by Rosephanye Powell. The ensemble will also showcase another piece by Ola Gjeilo with “Unicornis Captivatur”.
Additional selections of the concert include “And Einstein Said” by Trent Worthington, “The Spaces in Between Us” arranged by Larry Nickel, “Sound Over All Waters” by William V. Malpede, “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Paul Simon and arranged by V Peterson, and “I Believe” by Mark Miller.
“Wisdom seems to suggest an introspective responsiveness to significant events,” commented Dr. Deborah Simpkin King, Founding Artistic Director. “One of our compositions, ‘Unicornis captivator’ by Ola Gjeilo, draws upon a theme represented in most religions as well as in mythology that points to the healing power within each of us, if we listen to it. We all find our own unique way, and, as always, the notion that we can be ‘a bridge over troubled waters’ for each other in times of trial is heart and soul of how we seek to live and love and sing, as Ember.”
