Choral / electric flute premiere in Chicago monastary... March 2, 2010: St. Procopius Abbey in Lisle, Illinois near Chicago, was founded in 1885 by a new order of Benedictine monks to serve the large population of Czech and Slovak immigrants in the American mid-west. Today the abbey serves a more eclectic community in and around Lisle. It's expansive campus includes the large monastic community at the abbey, Benedictine University, and an elite high school, Benet Academy. To celebrate its 125th anniversary, the Benedictine's have commissioned Nancy Galbraith to compose Lumen Christi, a 30-minute sacred work that was premiered at the Abbey on March 2, 2010. The premiere was conducted by Thomas Octave, and performed by the superb Benet Academy Madrigal Singers, organist Josie Merlino, and world renowned Baroque flutist Stephen Shultz. Schultz's electroacoustic performances have been featured in three other recent Galbraith premieres: Other Sun (2009), Night Train (2008), and Traverso Mistico (2006). This was the third concert at St. Procopius Abbey featuring the music of composer Nancy Galbraith. In 2007 "A Concert for Peace in the Holy Land" presented the world premiere of Galbraith's oratorio Novena, and in 2008 the combined choirs of Benet Academy presented the Pittsburgh composer's epic God of Justice. Both concerts – also led by conductor Octave – were presented to raise funds and awareness for the Beit Benedict Peace Academy in Jerusalem.
