Special guest Mari Valverde comes to Seattle for our New American Composers Series and the world premiere of Up/Rising Into, her powerful love song for trans youth. Student singers from local schools will join us for Mari’s When thunder comes, a tribute to the work of social justice leaders. Come hear Mari’s music, meet Mari herself, and be inspired by music that honors the fight for the rights of all peoples.

We will also feature works by Rosephanye Powell, Dale Trumbore, Clara Schumann, Carlos Cordero, James Mulholland, Casey Rule, and more.
