This online concert will feature singers from Texas, Colorado, Ohio, and Maryland, performing music by contemporary female composers with video of Cook Forest State Park in Pennsylvania captured by Chris Taylor. Interspersed with the music will be a reading of “The Heart of the Forest,” an original fantasy story by Patrick Allen of Chicago, IL, read by his wife and Alium Spiritum board president, Margaret McCloskey. Visual artwork by Jessica Arriaga’s students at Stillman Middle School in Brownsville and John Joseph’s students at Baker Intermediate School in Lexington, KY will also be featured during the performance.
“When covid-19 forced choruses around the world cease live performance, singers, teachers, and conductors all became recording artists, sound mixers, and video editors. Church, community, and professional ensembles found new and creative ways to present their art to audiences, connecting through Zoom, YouTube, and Facebook. This opened up a number of opportunities for Alium Spiritum, including collaborations with more artists from across the country, connecting with a nation-wide audience, and creating visual art that we plan to integrate into our upcoming live performances. Our videos streamed since March 2020 have reached over 9000 viewers.” -Sean Taylor, artistic director
