Bosba Panh '15 Premieres Choral Piece at Symphony Hall

Bosba's choral piece, "i see others like me", will premiere at Boston’s Symphony Hall on October 21, 2024, during the Terezín Music Foundation Gala.

Commissioned by the Terezín Music Foundation and performed by Coro Allegro under the direction of David Hodgkins, the piece draws on themes of liberation, isolation, and collective trauma. This piece is based on the poem 'Clouds' by Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize winner, Fanny Howe. This work explores how we carry the wounds of our past, not just as individuals but as a collective, and how history influences our perception of the present and future.

Bosba writes: "I would also like to thank Whitman Brown, my composition and solfege teacher from Walnut Hill, for the pivotal role he has played in my life. Thank you to the amazing staff and faculty at Walnut Hill for creating the rich and caring environment in which I could thrive and grow, and to my lifelong friends who are all over the world!"
