The Ithaca College Choir, conducted by Lawrence Doebler, will perform the world premiere of “We Are One” by Behzad Ranjbaran at the 30th annual Choral Composition Contest and Festival.
The free event will also feature six high school choirs, each performing pieces chosen as finalists in a national competition of newly composed works.
Behzad Ranjbaran’s music has been performed by Renée Fleming, Joshua Bell, and Yo-Yo Ma. In 2008, Jean-Yves Thibaudet premiered Ranjbaran’s piano concerto, commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony and conducted by Robert Spano. Ranjbaran wrote “Songs of Eternity” for Renée Fleming, who gave the premiere with the Seattle Symphony under the direction of Gerard Schwarz. Joshua Bell was the soloist in the premiere performance of Ranjbaran’s “Violin Concerto” with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, also conducted by Schwarz.
