Choral Union Concert (JA)

Vision Unfolding written by Pederson is known for its in-triguing harmonies and uplifting message. Pederson hopes that the piece encourages listeners to build bridges of care and connection, stand in solidarity with marginalized voices, and respect those with differing views. The second piece, Misa Criolla, is a celebrated Mass by Ramírez that blends Latin American folk music with clas-sical elements. It features lively vocal writing and dynamic call-and-response passages, particularly in the Gloria. The orchestration includes keyboard, guitar, bass, and a trio of percussionists, adding to its vibrant, cultural texture.
