Long Time Traveller – a portrait of the Appalachian mountains & their memories

The rich beauty of our American musical landscape is a mirror, reflecting the culture and expressions of the many, not the few. Folk Hymnody is one such expression. Woven from the traditions of Scottish, Irish, and English settlers, borrowing from their ballads and modal melodies, and coupled with spiritual texts of the 18th and 19th centuries; the folk hymnody of Appalachia is as powerful and vibrant as the mountain ranges where it was born. Long Time Traveller is a portrait of the Appalachian mountains and their memories, featuring a variety of music which excites, enchants, and inspires.

Spring Concert
May 2027

Beyond – Time, space, identity, love, divinity.

These are the intangible, inexplicable constructs which drive and define us. They are beyond our comprehension or control, beyond the here and now, and beyond us. Featuring music for choir and percussion ensemble, Beyond is an ode to that which we see, feel, and know, but cannot fully grasp: the truths that are mysteries, and questions that are answers… that which is beyond.
