It’s hard to imagine a world premiere in more familiar territory: it’s in Chicago (my adoptive hometown), specifically in Logan Square (where I live), at St. John Berchmans Church (where I’m Director of Music), commissioned by Soli Deo Gloria, Inc. (which also commissioned Lumen de Lumine), and performed by the Millennium Chamber Players (which I’ve served as composer-in-residence). My newest work, and perhaps my largest work to date, Mass for All Saints, premieres on Sunday, September 20, 2009, at 2517 W. Logan Blvd. The concert will also include a performance of Mozart’s Requiem.

BONUS: Chandler Branch of Soli Deo Gloria is producing a series of interviews with me about this project on YouTube.

Tickets are $25 General Admission, and can be purchased in advance from the St. John Berchmans Office, (773) 486-4300, 2517 W. Logan Blvd., Chicago.
