Corra Sound to Give to Premiere New Works For Upper Voices

Corra Sound has announced its May concert, “Sing Her Tune” will premiere new works for upper voices.The top three compositions from Corra Sound’s 2023 ‘Call for Scores’ competition will be performed at the concert. These works are “A Mother’s Farewell” by Kate Hill, with text by Scarlett Palys, “The Land of no more Night” by Kari Kruver Medina and text by Christina Rossetti, and Erik Meyer’s “Unfortunate Coincidence and Social Note.

”These works were chosen from a total of 90 submissions, and were selected not only for their musical artistry but also for the powerful themes they portray. Composers were asked to write music based on themes of female power, strength, flowing energy, survival, and/or parental advocacy, and the winning pieces offer deeply creative responses to this remit.In addition to these premieres, the program will also include works by Eriks Esenvalds, Don MacDonald, Alexandra Olsavsky, and two pieces that were winners in Corra Sound’s workshops last year.
