Saturday, August 29: The MusicWorks Collective Season Opening ConcertThe MusicWorks Collective opens the season with a program exploring identity, place, and belonging through music that draws on diverse cultural traditions and lived experience. The concert begins with Angelica Negrón’s Marejada, a shimmering quartet woven together with recorded sounds from her native Puerto Rico, before turning to Jarod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Pisachi (Reveal), a work inspired by Pueblo and Hopi musical traditions and the composer’s vision for an American Indian classical music. The program concludes with Anthony Green’s Earned, commissioned by CMW in 2009. Centered on the U.S. naturalization process, the work pairs questions from the citizenship exam with musical quotations from cultures around the world, inviting reflection on immigration, identity, and what it means to belong. Storyteller Rochel Coleman joins the ensemble as narrator, giving voice to the questions at the heart of this powerful work.
