Agence France-Presse - AFP News was at Capital One Hall on May 11, covering the dress rehearsal and world premiere of Cosmic Cycles. AFP News editor Daniel Stublen sat down with composer Henry Dehlinger, NatPhil conductor Piotr Gajewski and Producer Wade Sisler from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

In his latest review, The Washington Post's Michael Andor Brodeur calls Cosmic Cycles, A Space Symphony “a harmonically rewarding wander through the stars that finds the substantial 81-piece orchestra — commandingly conducted by Piotr Gajewski — achieving unexpected lightness.”

On May 11 and 13, NatPhil presents Cosmic Cycles, A Space Symphony, Dehlinger’s monumental suite of seven symphonic poems, with an HD screening of images captured by NASA's Hubble and Webb Space Telescopes and groundbreaking visualizations created by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Vocal Arts DC presents Canciones de mi corazón on May 11, 2023 at the Mexican Cultural Institute of Washington, DC. The concert will feature soprano Danielle Talamantes, tenor David Portillo and pianist Ga Young Lee performing art songs sung in Spanish, including the premiere of Dehlinger’s Nocturno.

Vocal collaborators Danielle Talamantes and Kerry Wilkerson present a program of original art songs composed by Henry Dehlinger for their voices—with the composer at the piano. Selections include settings of poetry by Dante Alighieri, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and Biblical Hebrew texts from Song of Songs.

Choralis, the Washington, DC-area chorus praised by the Washington Post for “the power and rhythmic vitality of its singing,” premieres the Dehlinger Requiem for SATB chorus and orchestra on October 30, 2022. Met soprano Danielle Talamantes and bass-baritone Kerry Wilkerson are featured guest soloists.
