Hannah Lash's <em>Take My Heart</em> Premieres with Yale Schola Cantorum

Hannah Lash's new work for mixed chorus, Take My Heart, has its world premiere on January 21 with the Yale Schola Cantorum at Christ Church in New Haven, CT, conducted by David Hill. Take My Heart was commissioned by the Robert Baker Commissioning Fund for Sacred Music, and features a text based on J.S. Bach’s Sie werdern aus Saba alle kommen, BWV 65, translated by the composer. 

Founded in 2003 by Simon Carrington, the Yale Schola Cantorum is a chamber choir that has worked with Sir Neville Marriner, Paul Hillier, and Krzysztof Penderecki among others. Its recordings appear on the Delos, Gothic, and Naxos labels. 

Later this season, the New Haven Symphony Orchestra gives the world premiere of Lash's large-scale orchestral work The Voynich Symphony. The orchestra comissioned the work as part of a commissioning initiative that premiered each individual movement over the past two seasons. The initiative culminates in the debut of the complete work on May 4 with William Boughton leading the orchestra at Woolsey Hall in New Haven, CT.
