ABOUT THE MUSIC
“BRIDGE TO PEACE: Invocation” by American composer, Kim D. Sherman expresses a single sentiment and lyric, “Make peace on all your lands” set in fifteen world languages.
“Invocation” was first developed as part of a project sponsored by the UN Global Women’s Peace Initiative. Sherman chose the 15 languages by walking around her diverse Washington Heights neighborhood and simply asking her neighbors how to say “Make peace on all your lands” in their language of origin. She recorded each person speaking the text so she understood the cadences required to set each one musically.
This brand new composition, “BRIDGE TO PEACE: INVOCATION” – recorded in war-torn Lviv, Ukraine, Los Angeles, California and Brooklyn, NY with the PREformances-Lviv Chamber Ensemble conducted by Benjamin Loeb, featuring soprano Allison Charney, baritone Will Liverman, violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins, cellist Peter Seidenberg and members of the Lviv National Philharmonic – was released as a single on Lexicon Classics August 16th, 2024 and is available on all streaming services. The single was produced by Allison Charney and Jonathan Estabrooks along with co-producers Jeff Keswin and Peter Seidenberg.
