Amazing Grace: Fire and Light

Description

Native American composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate takes PostClassical Ensemble on a journey of fire and light in a program featuring selections from his moving cantata Standing Bear and Lowak Shoppala’ (Fire and Light), a work expressing Tate’s Chickasaw heritage through music, among others. The concert also includes Samuel Barber’s dreamlike Knoxville: Summer of 1915 performed by Mvskoke soprano, Kirsten C. Kunkle.

As a special tribute, PCE will present Mr. Impichchaachaaha’ Tate with PCE’s American Roots Artist Award for outstanding contributions to American music. Bring the family and join us in singing Amazing Grace with the whole ensemble at the end of the evening.
