Julian Wachner conducted the first four concerts in the 12-concert series titled “The Psalms Experience,” part of the White Light Festival at Lincoln Center this November. From the festival: “‘Out of the depths I cry to you!’ For nearly 3,000 years, humans have reached out to the divine through the Psalms, the Hebrew Bible’s book of hymns revealing the gratitude, fear, and longing of the human heart. In this unprecedented choral project, four world-renowned choirs traverse 1,000 years of music over the course of 12 thematic concerts featuring all 150 psalms by 150 different composers from Bach and Handel to today’s leading artists, including new commissions by Nico Muhly and David Lang, among others.”
