Martin</strong> brings passion and energy to the podium for the Carnegie Hall premiere of his new work <i><b>The Four Freedoms</b></i>, a dynamic tour de force of orchestral power and choral grandeur celebrating our democracy's 250th birthday. <strong>Joel Raney</strong> conducts the Carnegie Hall premiere of his <i><b>Sing We Noel</b></i>, a five-suite Christmas collection that captures the joy and majesty of the season. <strong>Craig Courtney</strong> brings sacred artistry to the stage conducting a program of his most beloved choral works, including his famed trilogy <i><b>Divine Encounter</b></i>, an epic musical arc of Invitation, Offering, and Blessing. Bringing these incredible Composer/Conductors' works to life are critically acclaimed choirs and Individual Singers from across the globe united in the <strong>Distinguished Concerts Singers International</strong> with the <strong>Distinguished Concerts Orchestra</strong>.</p>
