The following is a performance by International Vocal Ensemble, October 19th, 2012. The ensemble, unique among American university choirs, learns and performs vocal repertoire from outside the western art tradition, singing in the native language of each culture, and by developing the skills needed to reproduce each culture’s music. The event was sponsored by the Jacobs School of Music and the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center as part of its 50th anniversary celebration.
