Sana, Sana: Hope and Healing for Latinx Communities in Times of Precarity

Fulkerson Recital Hall

An original collaboration within the Cal Poly Humboldt College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences will culminate in a special “Music and Poetry” event on April 24 in Fulkerson Recital Hall on the Arcata campus.

The School of Dance, Music, and Theatre, the Department of English and Cal Poly Humboldt’s multilingual literary journal, Toyon, will present a project of original music and poetry called “Sana, Sana: Hope and Healing for Latinx Communities in Times of Precarity.” This concert begins at 3 p.m. with a pre-concert talk at 2 p.m. The event is free for everyone and will also be livestreamed at https://youtu.be/wJTqnv-m9Ns.

The concert is a performance of world-premiere compositions that specifically explore the Latinx experience. The multi-phase project began with a poetry contest for students on the theme of hope and healing in Latinx communities, with the knowledge and inspiration that the winning poems would be set to music and performed in a public concert setting. Once the final poems were selected, they were paired with composers, including Cal Poly Humboldt faculty, alumni and student composers. To honor the first-prize winning poem, the School of Dance, Music, and Theatre used a grant from the Oakland-based nonprofit California Humanities to commission the award-winning Venezuelan-American composer Carlos Cordero to write a choral setting for the poem.
