Melodia Presents, "Global Echoes" - LIVE Concert

Join us for an afternoon of stunning songs for women's voices. This will be a Spring concert you don't want to miss! Global Echoes presents a stylistically varied choral program that blends contemporary works with global folk traditions and sacred repertoire. The concert draws on multiple languages and traditions—from art song and modern choral writing—to folk music of Japan, Tatarstan, Russia, the British Isles, and Indonesia. Sacred pillars balance secular storytelling, including Canticle to the Spirit by Eleanor Daley and Jessica French's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. Cynthia Powell, Artistic Director and Conductor with Janet Sora Chung, piano and organ; Frances Duffy, harp; Kasey Blezinger, percussion Laura Albers and Yezu Wu, violins; Cameren Annai Williams, viola; Clara Kennedy, cello; and Eleonore Oppenheim, bass. **Please note that this year's Spring concert will be a Sunday matinee Program: Three Spring Songs Umirzaya (Snowdrop) , Milyausha Khairullina Akcharlaklar (Seagulls) , Elmir Nizamov Molitva (Prayer) , Elmir Nizamov Three World Folk Songs Dago Inang Sarge (Indonesia) , arr.
