Amy Beach shattered barriers with her exceptional contributions to art song, chamber music, and orchestral pieces. Her only opera, Cabildo delves into the tale of Pierre LaFitte's enigmatic escape from a jail cell in The Cabildo, an iconic building in New Orleans, Louisiana. We present her one act, coupled with a selection of Beach's finest compositions for solo voice, violin, cello, and flute.
