Healing Ceremony is a song cycle for mezzo-soprano, baritone, and orchestra by the American composer Marc Neikrug. The work was commissioned by the University of New Mexico for the dedication of a cancer Treatment and clinical research facility. It was premiered in the UNM's Popejoy Hall on June 11, 2010, with vocalists Susan Graham and Matthew Worth performing under conductor Guillermo Figueroa and the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra. Neikrug specifically composed the piece as a therapeutic experience for listeners.[1][2]
