This American Land

AVE

The choral group AVE (Artists' Vocal Ensemble) returns to the stage on the President's Day weekend. The concert's title, “This American Land,” refers to the actual earth, and the music is connected by composers' musings on “the sacredness of the earth.”

The wide ranging program includes Native American music, traditional American psalmody and shape-note singing, spirituals, and new compositions. Artistic Director Jonathan Dimmock conducts.

Michael Zwiebach is the senior editor/ content manager for SFCV. He assigns all articles and content, manages the writing staff and does editing. A member of SFCV from the beginning, Michael holds a Ph.D. in music history from the University of California, Berkeley.
