Ashland Concert Celebrates Diverse Musical Traditions through the Theme of Sisterhood
Ashland, Oregon—On Sunday, May 7 at 3pm at the SOU Music Recital Hall, Ashland-based nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions will present an unforgettable concert called Honoring My Sister’s Beauty, celebrating European and African American musical traditions through the lens of sisterhood.
The unique program of professional musicians from LA and Seattle combines traditional art songs with blues and spirituals, alongside original poetry, beautiful visuals, and musical improvisation to explore women’s struggles for greater equality and racial reconciliation.
Rogue Valley poet and co-Artistic Director Tiziana DellaRovere, who contributed two poems to the program, says “this concert sparks a conversation through poetry and music intended to repair the sorrow, injustice, and separation that began centuries ago.”
The performers are LA Opera singers Lindsay Abdou and Brooke Lohman, Seattle/Tacoma-based pianist Joseph Williams, and the violinist, poet, and educator Dr. Lesa Terry.
The eclectic musical program includes works by Hildegard von Bingen, Giovanni Pergolesi, and Carlisle Floyd alongside blues, spirituals, and African American women composers Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, and Dorothy R. Moore. It also features a newly commissioned world premiere by Anima Mundi Productions’ resident artists, Tiziana DellaRovere and Ethan Gans-Morse.
