I’ve been in Norfolk, Connecticut, this week working with Simon Carrington and 23 other professional singers from around the world at the Yale Summer School of Music / Norfolk Chamber Music Festival Chamber Choir & Conducting Workshop. The culmination of our work is a concert this Saturday featuring works from the Renaissance to today.

I’m posting the program below, but one of my favorite pieces is a world premiere by Yale composition student Loren Loiacono. It’s a setting of text taken from the last few paragraphs of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening.
