Transient Glory Symposium February 15-18, 2012
Transient Glory® was created in 2001 by Francisco J. Núñez for the Young People’s Chorus of New York City™ to spotlight the children’s chorus as an instrument capable of making music of the highest quality. In 2005 YPC gave its first Transient Glory Symposium at the Steinhardt School at New York University. Now, YPC is so happy to partner with the Carnegie Hall Choral Institute to present its second symposium, featuring eight Transient Glory compositions of more than 60 pieces of music YPC has commissioned to date from many of the most visionary composers of our time. YPC believes that this symposium will bring national attention to this music and enable even more choruses and conductors around the country to perform this groundbreaking music of the new century.
