Zachary is thrilled to return for the fourth time as composer-in-residence at the Staunton Music Festival in August, 2015. The festival's thrilling season will include two world premieres by Zachary, along with a wide variety of work, from Bach's St. John Passion to Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's Eight Songs for a Mad King. Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased here.

The choir of the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer has just released a CD entitled "Ikonic Mass," which is anchored by Zachary's mass of the same name. The recording also includes Zachary's hymn, Immortal Love, For Ever Full, along with music by Bach, Elgar, and Togni. Click here for ordering information.

Zachary's Beati Quorum Remissae and the Agnus Dei from his Ikonic Mass were broadcast on CBC's Choral Concert with Katherine Duncan. The same day, he was interviewed by Alberta's CKUA Radio about the premiere of his new cantata, The Far West.

The good reviews are in for Zachary's Carnegie Hall debut with NOTUS: Indiana University's Contemporary Vocal Ensemble. Writing for Sequenza21, Knox Sutterfield calls Zachary's To the Roaring Wind "a highly evocative setting. ... The piece has a directness—almost inevitability—to its linear development, but it is well paced in a way that makes its destination immensely rewarding." Writing for New York Concert Review, Jeffrey Williams calls Zachary's composition a "dramatic and highly effective work that should find a place in the a cappella repertoire."
