Dr Kira Rugen

Please welcome our very special guest performer, Kira Rugen.

From Kira: "I got an exceedingly wonderful surprise this weekend. I was named one of the Semi-Finalists for the American Prize in choral composition. I am among some very fine names on this list and could not be more pleased to be among them. It was such an honor to collaborate with Daniel Paulson and his fantastic choir Vox Musica for this commission.

I am honored to be commissioned by the Carolyn Eynon Singers to compose a song with text by Nancy Wood, a deceased poet from New Mexico. The song, entitled "HOLD ON" features boy soprano, string quartet, piano, and Treble boys choir and Adults with the message of Hope.... healing... and love."
