The third performance of the 2021 Festival, The Songs We Carried, examines the ways in which song is both an important method of cultural exchange as well as an art form that many rely on to preserve their cultural identity upon arriving in a new location.

The program features folk song arrangements by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Béla Bartók, Rebecca Clarke, Percy Grainger, alongside spiritual arrangements by Florence Price, Margaret Bonds and more.
