Cancionero de Luto by Armando Bayolo at Yale University

It has been such a rewarding experience to bring this new work by Armando Bayolo to life in Sprague Hall at Yale University. We also performed the work in Holyoke, MA. Thank you to Dr. Jeffrey Douma and the Yale Choral Artists for this beautiful collaboration.

Cancionero de Luto is a heart-wrenching response to the shooting in 2022 at Robb Elementary School and others like it, setting six texts in as many languages to fill the need for an ecumenical music of grief that also embraces freethinkers, atheists, and other non-spiritual traditions.
