“The winter solstice, when daylight starts becoming lon- ger, is sometimes referred to as the rebirth of light,” says Pemi Choral Music Director Will Gunn. “I chose musical pieces that also celebrate light and should be uplifting as we approach the solstice and the holiday season.”
Will Gunn was named the 2023 Choral Director of the Year by the NHACDA (NH American Choral Directors As- sociation). Collaborative pianist Laura Belanger accompanies the chorus.
