Concertgoers will enjoy a world premiere by composer-in-residence Martin Sedek, Goodness and Light, with selections from Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, Donald St. Pierre’s Songs of Sweet Accord, and choral gems from Brandon Williams, Elaine Hagenberg, and others, with world-renowned harpist Merynda Adams.
Artistic Director Dr. Anne Matlack says, “It is such a joy, after months of silence, to bring a brand-new work to life. Martin’s music has always been a wonderful fit for Harmonium singers, and for this work he deftly sets an extraordinary array of texts that celebrate the season and ‘goodwill toward all’ in many cultures. The work is a joint commission between Harmonium and the Composers Guild of NJ.”
