My first job out of college was in St. Joseph, MO, so I always enjoy returning there to make music!

The St. Joseph Community Chorus and I will perform the "Foretum" by the chorus director, Dr. Timothy Tharaldson, libretto by Euan Tiat. This cantata, about the faith journey of St. Benedict, was originally scored for soloist, choir, strings, and organ. The organ-accompanied version we'll be performing was premiered in Rome in January 2023.

Theraldson writes about this work: "I hope you, the listener, hear in Floretum the numerous emotions St. Benedict must have encountered during his life's journey. There are so many parallels drawn with our lives ... St. Benedict left the blueprint for a beautiful way to live in community."
