Michael Hoppe - Peace & Reconciliation

Grammy-nominated composer Michael Hopp� presents the inspirational voices of the Sedona Academy of Chamber Singers and the Tetra Quartet, conducted by Ryan Holder on his newest album. Based on his 2006 recording Requiem, Hopp� worked with master arranger Richard Bronskill to complete all eight movements of the new work: Peace & Reconciliation, and performed it in Belgium, Mexico, Canada and the US in 2019. Written as a dedication to his parents, Hopp� began this project a number of years ago, but an invitation to perform at Sedona's Church of the Red Rocks inspired him to complete it and finally record the music. This album connects Hopp�'s passion for heartfelt soulful music with a large choral sound, accompanied by a classical string quartet.
