Lara Downes- This Land
SKU: 8717306262002
This Land is a probing, nuanced reflection on the kaleidoscopic diversity of stories and journeys that have converged and collided throughout American history, from an art-ist renowned for her musical explorations off the beaten path. Downes celebrates the beauty of the American experiment while offering an unflinching acknowledgement of it's flaws and failings, ultimately embracing the power of hope and humanity as a pathway to finding common ground and building a brighter future. At the heart of this deeply personal collection is Edmar Colon's radical new reimagining of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, celebrating the centenary of it's premiere while reflect-ing on an American century of immigration and transformation. An iconoclast and trailblazer, Lara Downes' dynamic work as a sought-after soloist, a Billboard Chart-topping recording artist, a producer, curator, arts activist and advo-cate positions her as a cultural visionary on the national arts scene. She was honored as 2022 Classical Woman of the Year by Performance Today. She returns to PENTA-TONE after her 2023 album Love at Last.
