Riding the Currents of the Wilding Wind is a concept album and concert about displacement and freedom inspired by Helena Maria Viramontes’ novel, Their Dogs Came with Them. This new work centers music as a driving narrative force, drawing on the theatrical possibilities of a concert to create a sonic landscape and rich visual world steeped in symbolism and poetry. Created in collaboration with musical director Martha Gonzalez of the Grammy Award–winning band Quetzal, writer Virginia Grise, director Kendra Ware, and designer Tanya Orellana.
Riding the Currents of the Wilding Wind is created on the unceded lands of the Chumash and Tongva people.
