Step into history and hear music tell a complex tale of power, adaptation, and survival. Eagle & Empire brings to life rich and rarely heard repertoire born from the meeting of Indigenous and European traditions. Acclaimed vocalists Nell Snaidas, Estelí Gomez, Cecilia Duarte, Jonatan Alvarado, and Andrew Padgett join the virtuosic period instrumentalists of Piffaro, the Renaissance Band in an evening of Aztec dance and traditional Indigenous cuisine, courtesy of Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac, Philadelphia’s trailblazing Aztec dance troupe and cultural preservationists.
Part of VOCES: EAC’s VOCES series spotlights a different facet of Latin American culture and traditions each season. This year’s VOCES Series will feature indigenous cultural traditions from Latin America and the Caribbean.
This program is presented in partnership with Piffaro and was made possible through the generous support of William Penn Foundation, with additional support from the Presser Foundation, and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
