New Century Chamber Orchestra - Visitations

Journey into the beyond with Daniel Hope and New Century as they offer music for communing with spirits, whether connecting with those we've lost or outwitting death for another night! Mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor joins the orchestra in a candlelit, otherworldly setting to examine connections with the afterlife from many cultural angles, including a world premiere commission by Nicolás Lell Benavides that summons the spirit of Doña Sebastiana, Lady Death of the American Southwest.
