Zero Summer

Lorelei Ensemble presents Zero Summer, traveling through the stillness and waiting of advent, lingering in the darkness of the winter solstice, and arriving at the renewal and rebirth of first light. Featuring Lorelei’s incomparable and expansive vocal palette under the direction of Beth Willer and joined by Andy Kozar on trumpet, the program interweaves the familiar and the new, with world premieres by Kareem Roustom and Elena Ruehr, threaded through with plainchant, arrangements of traditional folk tunes and hymns, and contemporary works by Christina George, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Courtney Bryan, and Andrew Smith.
