As so often happens these days in Washington, this weekend saw a veritable cornucopia of performances — including no fewer than three world premieres, and one piece presented the day after its world premiere. The world premieres were John Tavener’s “Three Hymns of George Herbert” from the City Choir of Washington and Shenandoah Conservatory Choir; Donald Crockett’s “Dawn Dance” from the 21st Century Consort, and Urban Arias’s presentation of the opera “Paul’s Case,” by Gregory Spears. And “Gabriel’s Guide to the 48 States,” which Gabriel Kahane wrote for the chamber group Orpheus, came to the Clarice Smith Center the night after its world premiere at Dartmouth.

A few years ago, Sir John Tavener, the eminent choral composer, was so sick he thought he might never write again. And Robert Shafer, the choral conductor, was fired from his job and thought his conducting career might be over. On Sunday, Shafer and his City Choir of Washington, a new arrival in a city with plenty of choruses, will present a Tavener world premiere at Washington National Cathedral-- in the presence of the composer. And it all happened thanks to a public-policy think tank. Only in Washington. Read the full story here — tickets are still available. Read full article >>
