Mass for the Endangered

  • Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi 131 Cathedral Place Santa Fe, NM, 87501 United States (map)

Connect to our deep relationships with nature and each other through the universal language of music. A chamber orchestra joins the twenty-four Desert Chorale vocal artists for two captivating works by brilliant American women composers. Known as “a hymn for the voiceless and the discounted,” Sarah Snider’s Mass for the Endangered is an evocative meditation on the fragility of the natural world and a plea to defend it. After including a single movement of Caroline Shaw’s To the Hands in our acclaimed 2023 program The American Immigrant Experience, we are now thrilled to perform this work in its entirety, exploring themes of welcome and belonging. Join us for an evening of musical storytelling that reminds us of our shared struggles and triumphs as members of the human family.
