Synopsis Looking for Home is a choral work that explores the longing for belonging, the need for refuge, and the search for a place, real or symbolic, that we can call home. Written amid travels across the world and shaped by an unexpected love story, the piece touches on deeply human themes such as the sense of belonging, the construction of identity, and the need for community. It doesn’t offer a single answer to the question “What is home?”, but it does trace, with honesty and sensitivity, the path of someone brave enough to begin the search. Ideal for concert programs exploring themes of belonging, humanity, or inner renewal, Looking for Home invites each singer to connect with their own story.  less

It provides the music for Middle Collegiate Church's Art & Soul worship at 6 PM. Music reading is very helpful, but not as important as good intonation and a keen ear for gospel music. The only rehearsals are on Sunday afternoons at 4:30, for the 6:00 PM worship (start date 9/7) so it is essential that singers must be able to work on music outside of rehearsal that will be distributed several days in advance. Middle Collegiate Church is located in the East Village at 2nd Avenue and 7th Street.  less
