The unique musical language of the United States is rooted in the songs brought to her shores by successive waves of immigrants.
Hear this music performed by the Santa Fe Desert Chorale at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi on Sunday, July 23, Saturday, July 29, and Friday, Aug. 4.
Listeners will embark on a musical journey that explores how their contributions have influenced and defined our country’s music, and given us the rich tapestry of American song.
Combining the power of the spoken word with choral music, the full 24 voices of the Desert Chorale and collaborative pianist Nathan Salazar will give voice to the complex stories of uncertainty and hope from those moving from one home to another.
This program will also feature the world premiere of “Northland,” a piece written especially for the Santa Fe Desert Chorale by the Grammy-nominated composer Kile Smith.
