Bay Area based Ensemble LudeCanta (Latin for “play/sing”) was formed in 2016 as a dynamic consortium of vocal and instrumental musicians dedicated to the performance of new and under-performed works.

What sets Ensemble LudeCanta apart from other chamber ensembles is its focus on rare and under-performed works for voice and instruments. This concert is a streamlined version of what was originally meant to be presented in March/April, with only the solo pieces being performed. American Voices3(cubed) ranges in time from the Summer of 1915—in the piece of the same name by Samuel Barber—to the now--in the ‘rhythmic, melodic tone poem’ of Valerie Coleman’s “Danza de la Mariposa," and selections from the contemplative and cinematic "Songs and Poems for Cello" by Philip Glass.
