WNYC - Pilgrims of Destiny

Gena Branscombe's dramatic oratorio, Pilgrims of Destiny, continues to gain interest with conductors seeking to find an orchestral score and piano/vocal scores.  We are excited that the 21st century will hear her beautiful music and tribute to America's pilgrims.

Recently WNYC published a blog about Pilgrims of Destiny written by Kathleen Shimeta.  In 1940, WNYC broadcast a live performance of Pilgrims with the composer conducting.   Read the blog and listen to the recording - the announcer, the beautiful music and wonderful soloists will take you back to an era not all that long ago!
