A Map to the Next World (Commission & World Premiere)
Cantata Singers
A Map to the Next World is an ambitious, new, concert-length work about caring for our fragile and precious planet. Composer Scott Perkins takes us on a journey from creation, to destruction, to reconciliation and renewal through a nine-part choir, strings, percussion, and celesta. Drawing upon Indigenous American folklore and using words by seven celebrated poets, environmentalists, activists, and anthropologists—Tamiko Beyer, Rachel Carson, Harold Courlander, Joy Harjo, Rachel Morgan, Jay Parini, and Judith Wright—A Map to the Next World helps to guide us in our continued search for new paths as custodians of the earth.
