The upcoming Holiday Concert, “Voices of Heritage: Together in Song,” showcases a diverse lineup of artists representing the United States, Argentina, France, Puerto Rico, Russia, Ukraine, and Finland.

The program features a mix of classical and contemporary music, including opera arias, art songs, spirituals, crossover pieces, and instrumental works, however, this article only features vocal performances.

Mezzo-soprano Laura Virella will present select works by Puerto Rican composer Jack Delano. Mezzo-soprano Eugenia Forteza will be performing French and Argentinian pieces that reflect her bicultural heritage, with themes of love, nostalgia, and community through tango and folklore music. American baritone Jonathan Green is set to perform spirituals in honor of his ancestors. Russian-born soprano Zoya Gramagin will perform works by Tchaikovsky alongside Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s rarely heard Princess Volkhova’s “Lullaby” from “Sadko.” The program is rounded out by American soprano Sara Pearson, who will present the music of Carlisle Floyd and Stephen Sondheim.

Of this concert, Natalie Burlutskaya, Artist Manager and Producer said in a press release, “In a time when the importance of multiculturalism and unity cannot be overstated, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of cultures that make our country unique. Many of the creatives and performers who inspire us are immigrants, and this concert serves as a tribute to their roots and contributions.”

“Voices of Heritage: Together in Song” is scheduled to take place at St. John’s in the Village, on Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m.
