  • Kansas Conductor Leads Lunar Concert

    Kansas Conductor Leads Lunar Concert

    Raised in Conway Springs, Kansas – 30 miles south of Wichita – Alicia N. Brozovich demonstrates that there is still plenty of heart in the Heartland.

    Her passion for music brought her to Westminster Choir College to pursue a master’s degree in choral conducting in 2013. Following her graduation, she joined the faculty of Westminster Conservatory.

    Now she is about to lead her first public concert as conductor of the conservatory’s Westminster Community Chorus, at Westminster Choir College’s Bristol Chapel, on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

    The program, “Vespers by the Sea” (think Sea of Tranquility), is designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and will incorporate historic NASA transmissions related to the moon landing. At its core will be Ola Gjeilo’s “Sunrise Mass.”

    “Ad astra per aspera” – to the stars through difficulty – is the Kansas state motto. Learn more about Brozovich, the concert, and the journeys we all take to come into our own identities, in my article in this week’s U.S. 1 Newspaper – PrincetonInfo, out today.
