Description
The Santa Fe Desert Chorale, under artistic director Joshua Habermann, offers beautiful and assured performances of a range of American choral works, ranging from 19th-century Shaker music to jazz, folk and classically inspired works.
Taking its title from Stephen Paulus' a cappella choral piece, 'The Road Home' celebrates the diverse and ever-changing influences that make up American culture by featuring repertoire by immigrant and native-born Americans, ranging from mid-19th-century Shaker music to jazz, folk and classically inspired works by leading 21st-century choral composers. The professional Santa Fe Desert Chorale is one of the most distinguished American vocal ensembles.
Critical Acclaim
"The variety certainly displayed the ensemble's impressive versatility. Habermann consistently got vivid performances, introspective music elegantly colored and shaped, extrovert fare delivered with great pizzazz." – Dallas Morning News
