MIT Concert Choir: Longing for Unity

Carley is the soprano soloist with the MIT Concert Choir. Ryan Turner conducts.

Mendelssohn’s Psalm 42 is a musical manifestation of humanity’s impulse to search for love and belonging. Contemporary composer Reena Esmail’s This Love Between Us: Prayers for Unity yearns for common ground by joining sitar and tabla with a modern western orchestra, juxtaposing words from seven major religious traditions of India to explore how they each approach the topics of unity, harmony, and of being kind to one another.

Soloists:

  • Rajib Karmakar, sitar

  • Giri Subramaniam, tabla

  • Carley Defranco,  soprano

  • Carrie Cheron, alto

  • Matthew Anderson & Haochen Wang, tenor

  • David McFerrin, bass
