The repertoire for this concert is selected to prompt reflection on Mother Teresa's life of service and to provide inspiration for our individual journeys. Mother Teresa offers an example of selfless charity, with meaning for our own times. Featured are four U.S. premieres by Thoma Gaqi, Genc Tukiçi, Holst, and Maestro Dante Anzolini, as well as pieces by three living U.S. composers with ties to New York City: Philip Glass, Nico Muhly, and Missy Mazzoli.
