Ars Lyrica Houston presents 30 performances of “Ring in the Peace” at The Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern with additional free performances at other Arts District venues such as MECA, Sawyer Yards, and the Downtown Houston Tunnels. This multicultural holiday program, curated by Mexican-born mezzo-soprano Cecilia Duarte and Spanish-born percussionist Jesús Pacheco, features music for voice and percussion from the ninth century onward. By pairing ancient music with Houston’s one-of-a-kind venues, “Ring in the Peace” offers listeners a new, memorable musical experience that fosters reflection and a sense of unity with one’s communities, both locally and across the world.
