This video features the world premiere of the SSAA version, performed live by the Accord Treble choir under the direction of Elizabeth “Liz” Geisewite. Galaxias (SATB) has quickly become one of the most-performed pieces in Veros’ catalog. The work celebrates connection, belonging, and the light we can share with each other, even across great distances. Recorded in New York, this performance marks the debut of Galaxias for treble voices. #ChoralMusic #Womenchoir #WorldPremiere  less
