The winning compositions will be performed by the world famous Voices of Ascension, conducted by Dennis Keene, as part of their 2010-2011 subscription series. The landmark church is the home base of the Voices of Ascension, and is nationally known for its extraordinary acoustics. The Sorel Organization is proud to invite the 2008 1st place winner of their Medallion program, Chia-Yu Hsu, to premiere her new solo organ commissioning, 5 Essences, on the new Quoirin instrument. 'This initiative is to make certain that The Sorel Organizations' support will last much longer than one contest." quotes Judy Cope, their executive director. Also on the program will be Zoltan Kodaly's Missa Brevis for 40 voice choir and organ accompaniment.
