Arthur Honegger - King David

March 7, 2013, NEC’s Concert Choir under the direction of Erica Washburn, and wind ensembles, under the direction of Charles Peltz, and Contemporary Improvisation ensembles led by Hankus Netsky joined forces to explore the idea of David -- the warrior/poet King. The eclectic mix of musical styles offered a multi-faceted prism through which to see and hear David. The evening began with a prelude of Middle Eastern music as well as Psalm settings from different epochs and places presented by Contemporary Improvisation ensembles, followed by the NEC Concert Choir’s performance of Arthur Honegger’s King David.
