Tyler's Suite
Tyler's Suite
Tyler's Suite is a nine-piece choral movement dedicated to the memory of Tyler Clementi, a talented young musician who died by suicide after being bullied by his roommate during his first weeks of college. Tyler's Suite explores the voices and experiences of Tyler and his family, and ultimately shines a light of hope and endless possibility thanks to the music of today's top composers: Mark Adamo, John Bucchino, Ann Hampton Callaway, Craig Carnelia, John Corigliano, Stephen Flaherty, Nolan Gasser Jake Heggie, Lance Horne, and Stephen Schwartz with librettist, Pamela Stewart.
