Dennis Keene’s Voices of Ascension offers “Hear My Prayer” with soloist Hei-Kyung Hong
The long-awaited new recording by Dennis Keene’s Voices of Ascension, Hear My Prayer, emerges with a vocal feast: a beautiful variety program of VOA favorites. Voices of Ascension is one of the premier all-professional choral ensembles in the world today, known for its superb intonation, precision of attack, and unsurpassed homogeneity of vocal sound from soprano to bass. “Sheer musical excellence,” the New York Times wrote of an earlier VOA performance, “Mr. Keene drew an intensity from his singers that effectively tapped into both the meditative and ecstatic currents of the music.” Dennis Keene has chosen a kaleidoscope of sacred choral works, fifteen in all by thirteen different composers. International opera star Hei-Kyung Hong brings her beautiful and distinctive lyric soprano to solos in four of the works.
