Shara Nova’s extraordinary three movement work Carols After A Plague responds directly feelings of isolation, loneliness and unrest in our lives and the larger world. These pieces explore and react to the unrest and disease felt in the heart of the pandemic. Additional works speak to the collective moments of isolation our communities suffered. We conclude with David Lang’s Pulitzer Prize winning work The Little Match Girl Passion.
