Resurgence: songs of rebirth and renewal

2022 is a tense year.  Covid still threatens.  Ukraine battles inhuman brutality inflicted upon its land and its people.  We are enduring the greatest social schism since the Civil War.  Frequent natural disasters seem never to abate.  Many of us, perhaps most, are striving—in ways great and small—to turn these nemeses around.  For that, we can find inspiration in the music of Resurgence:  you’ll hear choral works by J. S. Bach, Abbie Betinis, Charlotte Bray, Edward Elgar, Kelvyn Koning, Elliot Z. Levine, Claudio Monteverdi, Xingjimin Pan, Ralf Schmitt, and Valentin Silvestrov—sung by Oriana’s 21 voices, under the direction of Walter Chapin and Katheryn Currie.
