Mary is honored to have been asked to collaborate with the amazing composer, singer, poet, and performer Chirstina Goh on Christina’s latest album, Nectar!, which will be released on October 9th, 2020.
Originally conceived by Ms. Goh as a live concert that was canceled in May 2020 due to the pandemic, the new Nectar! album is a cast recording of the show’s international line-up; featuring performances by Christina Goh, Gotham Aymar, David Perraudin, Les Passeurs de Légendes, Catherine Capozzi, Maxime Perrin, Jacques Moury Beauchamp, Noah Preminger, and Mary Bichner.
The show was also created by Ms. Goh to discuss the important topic of suicide prevention, and the album’s first single “Fleur d’eau” was released on World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept 10th. You can listen to the track in full, as well as watch a music video for it, featuring Christina Goh and Les Passeurs de Légendes, at the link below. (***CONTENT WARNING: Please note that the music video for “Fleur d’eau” includes both sung and visual allusions to suicide, in the context of suicide prevention.***) If you or someone you care about is in need of resources regarding suicide prevention, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has a 24-hour hotline at 1-800-273-8255 [US], as well as a their website, https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ .
Mary is honored that two new versions of her previous compositions, Finale (originally featured on “Now the Spell is Broken”) and Love-Song (originally commissioned by The Friends of Mount Auburn for Mary’s two-year composer residency there will be included on the album; featuring beautiful vocal and poetry performances by Ms. Goh on both tracks.
