World premiere - A Nation of Others by Paul Moravec & Mark Cambel and Whitman's America by Robert Paterson with The Oratorio Society of New York

World premiere - A Nation of Others by Paul Moravec & Mark Cambel and Whitman's America by Robert Paterson with The Oratorio Society of New York

The Oratorio Society of New York is very excited to present the world premiere of A Nation of Others, by Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell, the Pulitzer Prize-winning team that created the enormously successful Sanctuary Road. In a moving and dynamic score, A Nation of Others explores the experiences of immigrants—many of them also refugees—arriving at Ellis Island on a single day in 1921. Individual stories of people from Sicily, Ukraine, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Armenia, and Spain show the struggles immigrants can face, but also celebrate the fusion of diverse cultures that give our country its identity.

New York Classical Review called Moravec’s and Campbell’s previous OSNY-commissioned oratorio, Sanctuary Road, “a contemporary work that needs to be heard.”

Also on the program is Robert Paterson’s “quasi-fantasia” Whitman’s America, six poems that praise nature and our role in it as both individuals and Americans.

The commission and performance of A Nation of Others are made possible through the generous support of Joanne Spellun

Andrew will be singing in the tenor/bass sextet.

World Premiere "Happy" - a song cycle for mezzo-soprano and bass-baritone by Felix Jarrar

With mezzo-soprano Jessica Trainor Tascucu.

From the composer, Felix Jarrar:


On the heels of a wonderful FB live interview with Audrey Yoder, I’m thrilled to announce my latest upcoming project. My song cycle ‘Happy’ for mezzo-soprano and bass-baritone will be getting premiered via livestream on Tuesday September 22nd at 7pm. ‘Happy’ is about about how I came to peace with past traumas during various episodes of depression in my life. I cried many tears and healed pain from old wounds during the writing process. This is the first time I’ve been so public with my mental health journey and my life with depression and anxiety. Musically, the song incorporates many influences. The first half is very “classical” sounding, while the second half is predominantly pop influenced. I wrote both the music and words for this set. I’m thrilled to have Jessica Trainor Tasucu and Andrew Jurden join me for this 100% virtual collaboration. It is always a gift to have such wonderful collaborators to bring a new piece to life, and this is no exception. Stay tuned from more exclusive content and info about ‘Happy’ on my [Felix Jarrar’s] social media as we get closer to the premiere date!
