Musae

Musae's spring concert celebrates the living traditions of folk music from around the world. The program draws from over a dozen cultures across the Americas, Europe, and beyond, including Cree, Welsh, Estonian, African American, Irish, Mexican, Malay, and Venezuelan music. Collectively these voices weave together beloved lullabies, songs of grief and spiritual wandering, and music of survival and defiance, alongside new compositions that do the quiet, necessary work of reclamation, gathering what remains of old traditions and breathing new life into them.
Most of these songs do not share a language, a culture, or a homeland. But they share something deeper: the tenderness and mystery of birth, the universality of grief, the courage and community required to survive, and the human instinct to reach for beauty in life’s hardest and most sacred moments.
