About
WemsFest presents the Surtierra Touring Project - a collaboration with Anglo-Chilean band Quimantu alongside the newly formed and expertly directed WemsFest Choir, who have joined together to learn, rehearse, and perform Mauricio Venegas-Astorga's Misa de los Mineros (Miners' Mass). Performing this powerful prayer will be Quimantu and the Alkyona Quartet, alongside 100 community singers.
The Chilean composer of the Misa and founder of Quimantu, Mauricio Venegas-Astorga, escaped five decades ago from the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and made the United Kingdom his home. Today, the band seeks to break the stigmas associated with immigration caused by war, persecution, or poverty. In this context, music takes on a profound meaning: healing, uniting, rooting, and creating community. In this performance, music and home will meet in a celebration that unites cultures and voices.
