Finding Light, an interview with Matthew Lyon Hazzard | Oregon Repertory Singers

Ethan Sperry, Conductor and Gil Seeley Artistic Director of the Oregon Repertory Singers, sits down for a conversation with Guest Artist and Composer Matthew Lyon Hazzard. ORS commissioned Hazzard to compose a new work for the 50th anniversary season, Finding Light. What started as a celebratory venture has transformed into something "far more profound," says Ethan Sperry.
An uplifting, warm, and serene exploration of what it means to live in the world today. As Matthew Lyon Hazzard says, "Finding Light is about falling into hopelessness, and when you reach the bedrock, how do you move on...Every poem is a monument to hope."
