New England Philharmonic & Chorus pro Musica - Paths of Peace |

The NEP celebrates the conclusion of its 48th season by joining forces with Chorus Pro Musica to perform John Adams’ Harmonium, a powerful exploration of love and death featuring the texts of John Donne and Emily Dickinson. NEP concertmaster and perennial favorite Dani Maddon explores Roxanna Panufnik’s beautiful Violin Concerto, reflecting on peace in challenging times. The dramatic Mathis der Maler from Paul Hindemith questions the role of the artist in an earlier politically complicated era. The season closes with Eric Nathan’s Open again a turn of light, which sets a text by Boston-based poet Sawako Nakayasu. The concert also celebrates Nathan’s contributions to the NEP, at the conclusion of his tenure as Composer-in-Residence.
