Phil Kline’s JOHN THE REVELATOR, a mass composed specifically for the acclaimed vocal ensemble LIONHEART, premiered at the World Financial Center in New York. The evening was presented by John Schaefer’s New Sounds Live and aired on WNYC Radio, which commissioned the piece. This ravishing new work, which also featured the string quartet ETHEL, will be touring beginning with the 2007/08 season, when it will go to Syracuse, and to Weber State University where it will be performed with the Fry Street Quartet. The premiere of John the Revelator followed a busy season for the ensemble that included concerts at the St. Louis Art Museum, the Century Club in New York and a Wisconsin tour under the auspices of Early Music Now, as well as their annual concert at The Cloisters. Look for performances in 2007/08 at the Modlin Center at the University of Richmond, Brevard College, Corrales and Sante Fe, New Mexico, and as part of the Great Performers series at Lincoln Center with Rob Kapilow. The current season also saw the release of a recording of their new all-Spanish program, Siglio del Oro on the Koch record label.
