With the guest ensemble Alturas Duo, the Choruses of UC Davis and Nicolás Dosman bring the rhythms and holiday vocal traditions of the Americas (both Southern America and Northern America) to Davis. Works include Navidad Nuestra by Ariel Ramírez (an Andean influenced folk telling of the nativity story), Aaron Copland’s Zion’s Walls (drawn from Appalachian America’s hymnal traditions), and Abreme la Puerta (a traditional Christmastime song from Puerto Rico).

This year our holiday concerts explore and celebrate music of the Spanish diaspora, as well as other seasonal delights. The program features Argentinian, Basque and Mexican works in Spanish and Indigenous languages from across the Americas, and the music will included drums, guitar, harpsichord and more! It will be a lively and joyous musical experience for everyone!
