In November, Cantori performs the US premiere of Australian composer Paul Stanhope’s expansive REQUIEM and the New York City premiere of Juhi Bansal’s exquisite FOUR REFLECTIONS ON THE NIGHT. Stanhope’s Requiem, for chorus, soloists, and instruments, interweaves the traditional sacred Latin text with English-language reflections by female poets from around the world, including Neela Nath Das (India), Mary Elizabeth Frye (USA), Emily Dickinson (USA), and Australian Indigenous poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal. The work premiered in Stanhope’s native Sydney in 2021, in the midst of a global pandemic. Cantori is thrilled to present this powerful work that consoles, commemorates, and celebrates life. Juhi Bansal’s Four Reflections on the Night won second place in Cantori’s 2023 composition competition. Written for chorus with percussion and harp, it tells an ancient human story of gazing wonderingly at the night sky. Tickets at: www.cantorinewyork.com

The ARC Ensemble -a multiple Grammy, JUNO, and OPUS Klassik nominee — presents a groundbreaking program of musical discoveries by three exiled composers with deep ties to New York. The concert takes place on November 15 at Merkin Hall. Jerzy Fitelberg and Frederick Block fled Europe before WWII, settling in NYC. ARC's Artistic Director Simon Wynberg unearthed their scores in the Special Collections of Lincoln Center’s Library for the Performing Arts. Their works are joined by an exceptional clarinet sonata by composer Arthur Willner, whose archive is at the NYC's Leo Baeck Institute. ARC Ensemble has dedicated over two decades to reviving the music of the mainly Jewish composers whose lives and careers were derailed and marginalized by exile during the 1930s. ARC's concerts and recordings have earned rave reviews and a dedicated international following. Their acclaimed “Music in Exile” series on Chandos has restored an invaluable heritage and a growing number of masterworks are now joining the repertoir
