New Release September 7: "American Originals: A New World, A New Canon" featuring Reginald L. Mobley and Agave
[…] after her death that she is now gaining the exposure she so richly deserves. Acis is proud to be one of several cultural organizations to celebrate and promote her talent. As soloist Reggie Mobley articulates in his program note, classical music is not a zero-sum game: we can have the Mozart, Beethoven, Copland and Gershwin that we love, and also Florence Beatrice Price, Esteban Salas y Castro, Scott Joplin, Manuel de Zumaya, José Mauricio Nuñes Garcia, Justin Holland, et. al. who represent four centuries of overlooked American composers. When we permit our national cultural experience to be richer, our cultural expression and our national identity are more in alignment, and everyone benefits. It is time for a new canon for a new world. #blm” REGINALD L. MOBLEY (countertenor) began his career with the twice GRAMMY®-nominated ensemble Seraphic Fire and now appears courtesy […]

[…] in the Italian-style cantatas that completed concert. Jessica Petrus’s light, lilting soprano, perfect baroque style, and impeccable intonation made a strong impression with Juan Francés de Iribarren’s Por Aquel horizonte, and Catherine Hedberg offered contrast in Jerusalem’s Cherubes e pastores with a darker, dusky mezzo-soprano, by turns mellow and deep. Both improvised filigree as they repeated the first section of these da capo arias. Petrus returned in the second half for cantata by Manuel de Zumaya entitled Como aunque culpa that gracefully spun through a ciacona bassline. The full ensemble gathered for one last aria, Pastorcitos venid al jardin de Belén by Fabián García Pacheco.
