One choir per U.S. state receives the exclusive 2026/27 state-premiere license, immediate access to the full score pack, licenses, and guide tracks, and a public place in a growing national season of first performances.
Your choir does not simply perform the piece. It becomes the first public voice of the work in your state.
Odes of Love was written as a celebration of life itself: friendship, memory, nature, presence, family, ordinary days, and the people who make time feel meaningful.
The state-premiere model turns that message into a public role. When your choir claims the state premiere, the concert becomes easier to explain and more meaningful to promote: this is the first time this work will be heard in your state, and your singers are the ones carrying it there.
Once a state is claimed on the live map, that opportunity belongs to that choir for the 2026/27 season.
A state premiere gives your ensemble a clear artistic identity: your singers become the first people in your state to bring this music to life.
That gives you language for newsletters, season announcements, concert programs, social posts, donor updates, department communication, and local press. The piece arrives with a human message, a practical format, and a public reason for the performance to matter.
The 2026/27 premiere season also points toward Santiago Veros’s scheduled Carnegie Hall concert in March 2027. The Carnegie concert is a separate milestone with its own program, and it gives the season a visible artistic horizon.
The offer is built for directors who are planning ahead. Once checkout is complete, the state locks, the materials arrive, and the premiere can begin moving into your real season calendar.
Your choir secures the right to present the first in-state performance during the 2026/27 season.
The materials are delivered by email after purchase, ready for planning and rehearsal preparation.
Guide tracks support faster understanding of the musical world, the pacing, and the rehearsal path.
Your state and ensemble can appear on the public page as part of the premiere season.
“First performance in our state” gives your concert a clear hook for singers, audiences, boards, and donors.
Your local premiere becomes one point in a growing national path of first performances.
The public campaign already includes universities, community choruses, professional vocal organizations, and school programs. Each claimed state strengthens the sense that this is becoming a national choral season with local roots.
