Five Boroughs Music Festival presents The New Consort
Return/Revive
RETURN/REVIVE pairs two major works of grief and hope: one ancient, and one in its world premiere. Tudor composer Robert White’s Lamentations a5 expresses Jeremiah’s sorrow at the Biblical destruction of Jerusalem. In response, acclaimed composer and ensemble member Jonathan Woody’s Lamentation explores modern experiences of LGBTQ+ loss and otherness, while celebrating the ability of communities to mold adversity into hope and purpose. Several works by David Lang, Billie Eilish, Sweet Honey in the Rock, and more create a musical healing ritual that completes the program.
