In light of the tragedy unfolding in LA, members of the Rose Quartet, friends, and @pcumontclair offer Music for Restoration, a program in support of those affected.

This disaster impacts us all in one way or another, as humans and artists for the devastation it has wreaked in one of the world's great centers of creative inspiration and output.

We present this musical offering as a demonstration of sympathy for the loss of life, memories, and shelter in LA. We hope our music will make a statement for the preservation of life and our environment.

The Glee Club is the oldest and largest choir at Princeton University, and has for generations served as the ‘hub’ for singers at Princeton – in which like-minded students come together to explore musical passions and make lifelong friendships. The choir tours internationally on alternate years (at no cost to the students!), and has recently added northern Spain and South Africa to the list of stamps in the Glee Club passport. There are six major performances this coming season, and numerous special appearances at functions and gatherings around campus. The choir embraces a vast array of repertoire, from Renaissance motets and madrigals, Romantic partsongs, large choral-orchestral masterworks, and 21st century choral commissions to the more traditional Glee Club fare of spirituals, folk music, and college songs. The spectrum of Glee Club members is perhaps even broader: undergraduates and graduate students, scientists and poets, philosophers and economists – all walks of academic life are represented, knit together by their belief in the nobility and joy of singing together.

Sarah Quartel’s She Sang the Stars is based on excerpts from the epic Finnish poem “The Kalevala.” The piece tells the stories of womanhood in different phases of life through three women from the Kalevala poem. The five movements of the piece are: Start Off Singing; Water-Mother; She Ran; Stealing Fire; Song of the Stars.

Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen’s setting of the Magnificat was conceived as a prayer for the sick and the poor, out of hope for those who struggle, and as a musical reflection of Mary. Described by Gramophone magazine as a genuine masterpiece, this epic work glows with soaring, beautifully melodic lines. Magnificat is performed with piano, organ, string quartet and bass.
