On June 12,2022 the Overman Family and a select group of their friends performed the world premier of Robert Overman’s work setting the Psalms to music. Encouraged by the response of the audience and the people who were given the opportunity to present the work. “This concert is a celebration of new music written for old words. The Psalms are a rich part of Christian worship and devotional life. These choral settings are in answer to a call I felt in September of 2019 to give a new musical voice to the words of the Psalms. My family quartet has been singing these one by one as they were composed, and throughout the pandemic we were one of the only ‘choirs’ still going. Now that we all have been given some breathing room, it’s been a real joy to gather many of my musical friends from various musical endeavors (Central Baptist Church Chamber Choir, the Traditional Carolers from Butchart Gardens, Hexaphone, & Vancouver Island Performers’ Guild to mention a few) and to share this music with you.” -Robert Overman
