The Choral Project Presents Three World Premieres In Virtual Concert, SANCTUARY

SANCTUARY is a virtual and on-demand concert devoted to a continued hope for a better world that embraces the spirit of refuge, love, and interconnectedness, presented by the award-winning choral ensemble, The Choral Project.

The themes explored in this concert are very timely given the war in Ukraine. Of the production, artistic director and conductor Daniel Hughes says, "We are honored to share our rendition of John Rutter's 'A Ukrainian Prayer' in solidarity with the travesties occurring in Ukraine. Knowing we are not alone when things are darkest is one of the most powerful messages we can share."

The production features world premieres by Daniel Hughes, Joshua Shank, and Kira Rugen, music by such luminaries as Stephen Sondheim ("No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods), Jason Robert Brown, and John Rutter, and The Choral Project's rendition of our 2021 Rachel Moore Composition Contest winner ("Breathe" by Coleman Peterson).

A streaming code costs $25. Visit choralproject.org for more information!
