This is Our House
This is Our House is a new choral composition commissioned by the Baltimore Choral Arts Society and composed by Alysia Lee in the Spring of 2021.
TIOH compels the performer to never take for granted the beauty and magic of singing together. Often times we forget to cherish the life moments that matter the most. The piece asks the audience to also consider their own missed opportunities to give and receive gratitude and community.
Hear a live performance of TIOH, outdoors and accompanied by cajon (and cicadas).
