A collaboration between Bellevue Chamber Chorus and City Cantabile Choir! Fredrick Lokken and Frederick N. West co-conduct the stirring Misa por la Paz y la Justicia ("Mass for Peace and Justice") by legendary Argentine composer Ariel Ramirez, featuring the traditional 6-piece Andean ensemble SurLlajta and Justin Ferris, tenor. Composed in 1980, this unique piece combines indigenous South American folk instruments with traditional Western instruments in music based on the folk traditions of the region, resulting in a thought-provoking, yet joyous celebration of the hope for peace and justice among all people.
Each chorus will also present individual sets of dynamic music from the region in the first half of the concert. Don’t miss this excursion into the music and spirit of Latinoamérica!
