    Americana is the music of community and history, living at the sonic intersection of our collective past, present, and future. This concert is an American soundtrack offered by three award-winning ensembles from across the United States.

    From Southern California, Mariachi Tesoro de San Fernando performs a spectacular global repertoire with Mexican roots. Hālau I Ka Leo Ola O Nā Mamo, hailing from the Kea‘au, Hawai‘i, shares dance and chant grounded in traditional knowledge and Native Hawaiian language. From Burlington, Vermont, Sugar in the Pan represents contradance music and other local folk traditions for which New England region is known.
