Voices of Connection: 09/13 Bora Yoon Premiere!
Today's piece was chosen by Voices Board Member Wende Persons. “Last year Voices of Ascension commissioned composer and ensemble member Bora Yoon to write a new work for the chorus. She responded with “Infinite Light,” a beautiful two-part piece with texts by Sufi mystic poets Rumi and Hafiz. In this world premiere performance of the second part, “Light Will Someday Split You Open,” the gloriously rich choral sound makes Bora’s piece feel, even on first hearing, warm, familiar, and illuminating.”
