Desde la naturaleza | Iniciativa de artes corales

Choral Arts Initiative is thrilled to perform the world premiere of Jeffrey Derus' From Wilderness: Meditations from the Pacific Crest Trail. Be the first to hear this stunning and capitvating work.  

Spanning landscapes from Mexico to Canada, the Pacific Crest Trail covers thousands of miles of natural beauty, creating a transformative journey captured in the work. Choral Arts Initiative, conducted by Brandon Elliott and joined by cellist Kevin Mills, paints these landscapes from composer Jeffery Derus with vibrant color, with vocal soloists giving identities to the spirit animals one may encounter on the trail. A concert-length work and meditation, the listener will hear a wash of sounds that allow for introspective reflection on the sacredness of nature, the profound text, and themselves.
