Save the Date: Voices of Ascension will present Voices of Mannahatta on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. at The Church of the Ascension. The program explores the history of the land on which the concert hall stands, on the unceded lands of the Munsee Lenape, Mannahatta Island.
Alongside traditional Lenape song devised and performed by Eagle Project’s Founder and Artistic Director Opalanietet Pierce specifically for this concert, and choral music written by contemporary North American Indigenous composers, the program also includes performances of Andrew Balfour’s Vision Chant, the US premiere of Juno Award-winning composer Cris Dersen’s Triumph of the Euro-Christ, and Raven Chacon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning composition Voiceless Mass featuring International Contemporary Ensemble.
