On May 18th, the Lyric Chorale will present a very special concert titled: Healing A Broken World. It features John Wykoff's new work "Out of this Darkness: A Normandy Cantata". Renowned lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri penned the text, which captures Normandy's long and violent history while daring to ask for repentance and hoping for a more peaceful world. The piece was composed in 2023, and premiered the same year in Caen, France by an American choir and French orchestra. It received its North American premier in 2024.
The cantata has six movements and includes elements of classic, jazz, gospel, and contemporary styles. It is very accessible with its rhythmic energy and wonderful melodic and harmonic writing.
Also included on the concert are a set of lullabies, the Beatles' "Blackbird", and "I Dream a World" by Rollo Dilworth.
The concert will take place Sunday, May 18th, 2:30 pm, at Faith Lutheran Church, 2576 Browncroft Blvd., Rochester.
