Under the direction of Sean Linfors, Cayuga Vocal Ensemble will celebrate their 50th anniversary season with music that will feature double-choir pieces: J.S. Bach's motet, Ich lasse dich nicht and Steve Stucky's Music of Light. The choir will also perform a new work, Jahaaṅ, by contemporary composer Reena Esmail. This uplifting 5-movement work accompanied by four-hand piano and percussion features arrangements of Marathi, Gujarati, and Malayalam folk songs all touching on the feeling of home. The composer writes: “the music of these vibrant folk traditions in India, and I wanted choirs all over the world to experience them too.”
