Did you feel the love today? We did! đź’•

This afternoon’s *Marking Moments: In Love and Longing* concert was a beautiful celebration of connection, emotion, and storytelling through music. We are so proud of every singer who brought these themes to life with such honesty and artistry.

A special highlight of the day was presenting our Summer Scholarships to two outstanding young artists:
✨ Madeline Lee (Syosset High School), who performed “Will He Like Me?” from *She Loves Me* (Harnick & Bock), and will be attending the MPulse Musical Theatre Workshop at the University of Michigan this summer.
✨ Marissa Vollweiler (Plainview-Old Bethpage High School), who performed “Must the Winter Come So Soon?” from Samuel Barber’s opera *Vanessa*, and will attend the Queens Summer Vocal Institute at Queens College.

We couldn’t be more excited to support these talented musicians as they continue their journeys. Bravi to all!

Composer Spotlight: Joan Johnson Drewes

This Sunday, the Babylon Chorale is proud to present the world premiere of The One Word by composer Joan Johnson Drewes.

Set to the text of Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem The Dove, this new work reflects on how love can restore joy, even in life’s most difficult moments. Earlier this season, Joan joined the Chorale in rehearsal, working directly with our singers and sharing the story behind the music, making this premiere especially meaningful for all of us.

Be among the first to hear "The One Word" performed live as part of Marking Moments: In Love and Longing.
