Premieres & Revivals

Picture
As part of the 2013 LABA Eat Festival, Ms. Alexander conducted the 
World Premiere of Here I Am, Send Me, an aleatory choral work 
by Israeli-born composer Amir Shpilman
for chamber choir and four cantorial soloists,
based on the description of the prophetic appointment of Isaiah, 
and the symbolic eating of fire as an act of purification.
There were two performances at the 14th Street Y, New York, NY
