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.

The charming beach town of Lewes, Delaware will host a concert to benefit “Lewes in Bloom.” The concert features soprano Danielle Talamantes and bass-baritone Kerry Wilkerson singing tunes from the Great American Songbook, including Dehlinger's highly acclaimed Duke Ellington arrangements.

The American Choral Directors Association will spotlight Henry Dehlinger's choral works for TTBB voices at its 24th Annual Voices United Conference on August 6, 2022 at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA. Works includes Night Piece, Bahnhofstrasse and Memorial Day.

Henry was just on “Cooler Classics,” the UK Radio show about all things classical hosted by Peter Lewis. They discussed Kohelet, Henry's choral work that premiered in March, and Cosmic Cycles, a new symphonic project he's composing in partnership with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Listen here.

Return to the Moon, a fanfare for brass and percussion, premieres March 17. Heralding NASA’s historic Artemis missions to the moon and beyond, Dehlinger's powerful anthem will mark the space agency’s rollout of its Space Launch System, the world's most powerful rocket, at the televised Kennedy Space Center ceremony.

In collaboration with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the National Philharmonic presents Dehlinger's Cosmic Cycles in May 2023. This musical exploration of the universe and its origins will be performed live against the backdrop of out-of-this-world images from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.

Next in the 2021-22 season’s slate of premieres is Kohelet. Commissioned by the Washington Master Chorale, Santa Clara Chorale and Santa Clara University Concert Choir, Dehlinger’s new major choral work premieres March 20, 2022, in Washington, DC, and enjoys its second performance on May 21, 2022, in Santa Clara, CA.
