With Reverence for the Earth
and All Things On It

The Eugene Concert Choir and the Eugene Youth Symphony perform Songs of the Earth, a cantata for Native American flute, drum, strings, narrator and choir, by Oregon composer Hal Eastburn. The cantata gives voice to the poetry, songs, chanting, legend, and quotations of native peoples. We also welcome guest Native American performers to share the stage.
