The pandemic caused us to reschedule this premiere three times! Yet here we are—and the piece itself is stunning. Our premise is a day on Ellis Island in 1921, unfolding the stories of immigrants, many of them refugees, who faced all odds to get to America and start life anew.

The performance is being recorded live, and we will make every effort to once again join the Grammy lineup, as we did with this work’s predecessor, Sanctuary Road. That work was created by Paul and Mark for OSNY. It now has a life of its own; since our premiere it has been performed across the country and even been turned into an opera!

I do hope you won’t miss this chance to hear something of spectacular importance. I hope to see you there!
