Flor De Toloache

All-female Mariachi band Flor De Toloache will perform in a FREE, all ages outdoor concert as part of the Muncie Three Trails Music Series. The concert will take place at Canan Commons in downtown Muncie, IN on Thursday, September 20th at 7 PM. Dance troupes Anderson Ballet Folklorico and Ballet Folklorico Mosaicos will open the show with traditional Mexican dances.

Flor De Toloache are pioneers in updating Mariachi music for contemporary audiences. Their work has won acclaim in many quarters. The group's self-titled debut album was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Ranchero/Mariachi album, and their 2017 second release, Las Caras Lindas, won that award.

The Muncie Three Trails Music Series is thrilled to present the 9th season in which the series presents critically acclaimed national recording artists in four FREE concerts at Canan Commons in Downtown Muncie. All shows begin at 7 PM and are all ages. And this season, we will also be presenting this special “Bonus” concert at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. Complete information on the series and all artists, including samples of their music, can be found at www.munciethreetrails.com.

On September 24th, the Muncie Three Trails series will present a special “bonus” fifth concert at Cornerstone Center for the Arts’ E.B. Ball Auditorium. This show will feature Wales- born and London-based solo acoustic guitarist Gwenifer Raymond. Raymond’s specific field of solo guitar is known as “American primitive,” a term coined by acoustic guitarist John Fahey in the late 50’s to describe his own music, intended to somehow convey an ineffable and ever-evolving amalgam of influences. For Gwenifer, this means she melds Appalachian folk, Southern pre-war country blues, Indian ragas and drone-based music, along with hints of vintage gothic horror films and a good dose of Welsh folkloric strangeness. The sound she makes is so cavernous, evocative and frenetic it seems as though at least two more guitarists must be hiding somewhere in the wings. Be prepared for a completely unique and spellbinding experience when Gwenifer Raymond takes the Cornerstone stage. Lonesome With Company will open the show.

The Muncie Three Trails Music Series is a non-profit partnership between Muncie Downtown Development Partnership, Muncie Arts and Culture Council, and Rick Zeigler, series founder and organizer. The mission of the series is to bring critically acclaimed, national recording artists to perform at Canan Commons, Muncie’s premier outdoor performance venue, located in the heart of Downtown Muncie. A second mission is to promote the many recreational, artistic, and cultural attractions located along, or in close proximity to, Canan Commons and Muncie’s popular “Three Trails” -- The White River Greenway, Cardinal Greenway, and Muncie Arts and Culture Trail. We hope attendees will heed our slogan, “Explore the Trails, Enjoy the Music".

About

Under the direction of Andrew Crow and Kerry Glann, the Ball State Choirs present a series of concerts each year featuring a wide range of music from around the world and across the centuries.

The Ball State University Chamber Choir is the university’s most prestigious concert choir, typically comprising 32 singers: mostly upper-level music majors and graduate students. The Concert Choir is a select ensemble open to students of all disciplines by audition.

Program

The program is themed around nature and finding hope, peace, and joy. The concert will feature several selections of South African music as a nod to the November concert from guest artists Soweto Gospel Choir.

Chamber Choir

Featuring composers Jake Runestad and Zanaida Stewart Robles. Chamber Choir will also perform a student composition called “The Glade” by Theodore Hicks, who is completing his doctoral studies this semester!

Concert Choir

Music by Ola Gjielo, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (honoring the 500th anniversary of his birth), Felix Mendelssohn, Jake Runestad, Melissa Dunphy, and Thabo Matshego.

Palestrina’s “Sicut cervus” and Mendelssohn’s “Wie der Hirsch schreit” form a coupling as settings of the same Psalm text (Ps 42, Like as the hart desireth the waterbrook…) in different languages and composed across a time span of roughly 250 years.

The Melissa Dunphy piece “I Took a Walk with Joy” featuring poetry by alum Mark A. Boyle.

Connecting to the campus visit of the Soweto Gospel Choir in November, Concert Choir will present Matshego’s “Ukholo lwami,” an arrangement of two traditional South African gospel songs.
