Quintessence Choir Performs La Frontera

La Frontera (the Border) will be performed by Quintessence Choir on their program Borders and Bridges: Songs of Migration.La Frontera (The Border) is a poem by an undocumented immigrant youth held in an American maximum-security detention center. Sadly, we cannot know the identity of the author due to governmental restrictions.  I was drawn to set this poem because it captures the stark realities of the immigration process as well as the powerful desire to immigrate to America. I wanted to help spread the message. Scores sales are all donated to the Amica – Center for Immigrant Rights in Washington DC that assists youths such as this one. More important than ever! The concert will also include music by Carlos Cordero, Andrea Ramsey, Jake Runestead  and others.
