Vista Point: A World Premiere
We welcome back LA-based composer Jennifer Lucy Cook to Phoenix as we present the world premiere of Vista Point, a brand-new choral work commissioned specially for Phoenix Chorale.
Both composer and lyricist, Cook explores themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and connection to nature. The piece captures the internal dialogue between the human spirit and the land itself—an especially fitting theme for one of America’s greatest hiking states.
Experience it alongside the composer herself—Jennifer Lucy Cook will be joining us for the May 4th concert at All Saints’ Episcopal Church. Be there as it unfolds. Feel it first.
