The 200 voices of the Choral Union, University Chorale, and State Singers join the MSU Symphony Orchestra for a program that includes U.S. and Latin American music. Guest musicologist Miriam Escudero will serve as concert guide, leading the audience through the earliest work published in Latin America, works by early 20th-century Brazilian composers, and a work by Aaron Copland who was a great champion of Latin American music and composers. The program features the U.S. premiere of a mass Dr. Escudero preserved from 18th-century composer Cayetano Pagueras who mysteriously vanished from Cuba.
