Mona Lyn Reese composes with a mission: to confront human experiences, both harrowing and hallowing, with unflinching artistry. Her dramatic oratorio CHOOSE LIFE melds Jewish and Christian musical traditions, Holocaust survivor accounts, and scripture into a powerful interfaith memorial. An immediate success, this work filled 1500-seat auditoriums and received spontaneous standing ovations at every concert during its initial season; and it’s easy to see why.
Reese possesses a rare talent for marrying intricate rhythms and stylistic diversity — klezmer, Gregorian chant, and Anglican anthems — to soaring melodies and emotional depth. Acclaimed nationally and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, this powerhouse of a work moves listeners to reflect, remember, and ultimately — to CHOOSE LIFE.
