Premiere: Songs for the Spring of Waiting will be available for our listening March 16

 Available from March 16 onward,  we welcome the premiere of songs reflecting our reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic, Watch for the posting at YouTube.com/classicaltuesdays

Join Tacoma Poet laureate emerita Josie Emmons Turner and composer Gregory Youtz as they discuss and then premiere “Songs for the Spring of Waiting.”  Josie’s response to the pandemic shutdown a year ago was an explosion of poems that ranged from gardening to students to thinking about the poet Walt Whitman and his response to crisis. Greg’s response to the poems was to set them to music as documents of this unique time.  Soprano CyndiaSieden, mezzo-soprano Soon Cho and pianist Oksana Ezhokina will premiere the five songs in a way that is also a document of these times- socially distanced and online!
