World Premiere Concert

A BEAUTIFUL BLUE MORNING SKY is a world premiere song cycle receiving a concert performance at Keegan on the weekend of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. A chamber piece written to be an emotional re-telling of the day – no politics or conspiracies, just musical stories, vignettes, and personal moments in chronological order – it brings all the human dimensions of this shared event to bright life.

Proceeds from this event will benefit Northern Virginia Family Services, a local organization that was responsible for managing the 9/11 Pentagon attack’s primary long-term response plan, providing trauma recovery services to survivors of the attack and offering general care to those affected in the DMV.

Thank you to our 30th Anniversary Season sponsor!
