Te Deum paid tribute to the centennial of legendary composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein with a presentation of “Chichester Psalms.” Two world premieres also were on the program. The first was a setting of text from the Torah by Kansas City composer Stewart Duncan, commissioned as a gift in memory of Carol Lynn Stockton, a longtime vocal music teacher and past Te Deum board member. The concert concluded with a setting of a Hebrew Benediction by New York-based composer Karen Siegel. Pieces by contemporary Jewish composers David Lang and Aaron Jay Kernis rounded out the program.
