Alaska to the Amazon Walk the continents with our singers and instrumentalists listening to music from Native and Immigrant America presented by World Voices, Karle Erickson, conductor, in our Tenth Anniversary Season. Music from several Native American tribes such as the Inuits (formerly Eskimos) from Alaska, the Nanticoke Tribe from Delaware or the Quichua tribe from Argentina and Ecuador, with such titles as “Nukapianguaq”, “Manchai Puito” or “La Lluvia” accompanied by panpipes, will captivate your imagination. “Ye Followers of the Lamb” comes from the French communal society known as the Shakers.  You will also hear the world premiere performance of “Medicine Woman” by local composer Janika Vandervelde written for SATB choir, poetic narrator, Native American flutes, percussion and piano bows. Featured in the performance are the poet, Ellen Kort, who is Wisconsin ’s first Poet Laureate and Cochise Anderson, a Chickasaw and Mississippi Choctaw playing three Native American flutes and drums.
