Experience thrilling  new music for massed chorus and orchestra co-commissioned by VocalEssence. Two Grammy Award-winning composers will be featured: William Bolcom's dramatic Prometheus portrays the Greek god who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals, and Michael Daugherty's compelling Mount Rushmore sets the most famous words of four great American presidents to music. Learn about  and hear excerpts of these new works from the inimitable founder of VocalEssence, Philip Brunelle.
