Tantalus – a new music chamber choir – keeps the music going with a program of American music, blurring the lines between classical and pop. Choral works by Ted Hearne, Caroline Shaw, and Ayanna Woods are juxtaposed with songs from the pop and indie rock worlds.
Native American composer Brent Michael Davids has composed a charming quartet about James Fenimore Cooper. Davids, who embraces indigenous themes and subjects in his music, considers Cooper’s ignorance of native culture in “The Last of the Mohicans” in this delightful work for string quartet, featuring members of your Albany Symphony. This event is featured as part of the Sanctuary for Independent Media’s Freedom Festival in collaboration with the American Music Festival.
