The Benjamin T. Rome School of Music of The Catholic University of America, commissioned the newest work of Johanny Navarro. The piece, for orchestra and choir, will be premiered on December 2nd, 2016 as part of the Annual Christmas Concert Charity of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC.
Videntes Stellam combines the unique rhythmic aesthetic of Navarro, as well of her splendid control of drama and narrative. The text taken from Matthew 2:10-11, narrates the beautiful encounter of the wise men with Jesus.
