The Aspen Choral Society performs the world premiere of two choral pieces, Haam Haholchim Bachoshech (The people walking in darkness) and Kumi Ori (Arise, Shine), commissioned to be incorporated into the chorus’ annual presentation of Handel’s Messiah. My pieces, like many sections of Handel’s Messiah, are settings from the book of Isaiah but are in the original Hebrew.

Aspen Choral Society’s 45th annual season of Messiah will consist of three live performances taking place on December 10, 11, and 12 in Aspen, Basalt, and Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
