Join the Sangre de Cristo Chorale on October 10 and 11 for the New Mexico premiere of Our Transcendental Passion, a concert-length work for chorus, soloists, and instrumental ensemble by acclaimed contemporary composer Paul John Rudoi. This remarkable piece weaves together texts of eminent Transcendentalist writers of the 19th century, including Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Henry David Thoreau, and over 30 others, set to music based on the Shape Note, Shaker, and Southern Harmony traditions. 

We look forward to sharing this glorious music with you!
