I Cantori di Carmel Choir

On I Cantori's FB page today.

I Cantori di Carmel mourns the loss of a former member, Steven (Solomon) Yoo, who passed away in October 2020. He composed a beautiful and haunting setting for Psalm 23, The Lord Is My Shepherd, for us to perform in our December 2015 concert. We present this recording in Steven's honor. Peace.

Solomon (Steven) Yoo sang with us in I Cantori, and composed "The Lord is My Shepherd," which we performed in December 2015. Rest in peace, Steven.
