I just saw the Ars Nova Singers for the first time tonight and I am speechless! They are an amazing choral group singing amazing stuff. "New Sounds" is the name of the show and they certainly deliver on it! One of the more amazing moments was in the second half when they performed a selection of Americana works. " Calling My Children Home" was introduced as a piece written for Emmy Lou Harris, but as done by a 40 voice choir it was so poingnant and filled with emotional yearning that I was moved to tears.

Other highlights of this magical and splendid evening was the " Agnus Dei" by Samuel Barber, " Eyesight" by Stephen Stucky, " Pretty Saro" (a solo by the enchanting Emilyn Inglis), and " Sister Maude" a new composition by Colorado composer Cherise Leiter, who I've never heard of but ought to be writing more music by the likes of this.

They're final show is tonight (Sat, May 19) in Denver at the St. Elizabeth's Church near UCD ( 1060 St. Francis Way) at 7:30. They sell tickets at the door.

Do yourself a favor and catch this amazing chorus tonight! I was certainly glad a friend of mine coaxed me into going (thank you, thank you, thank you Pat!). In these uncertain times it certainly was an uplift for my soul. Thank you Ars Nova!!!!
