This piece about the beauty in self-understanding and openness to change is a collaboration with the acclaimed Cuban American poet Carlos Pintado. It was commissioned jointly by Consonare Choral Community, founding & artistic director Sarah Kaufold; Peninsula Women’s Chorus, artistic director Anne K. Hege; West Village Chorale, artistic director Colin Britt; and the Yale Glee Club, director Jeffrey Douma; and premiered by all four choirs beginning in March 2022.
