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.
