Soy La Diosa celebrates the goddess who nourishes us, protects us, and provides us with beauty. Its centerpiece, Soy la Diosa (I am the Goddess), is a joint commission by Ars Lyrica and Les Délices from Nicaraguan American composer Gilda Lyons.
Set to a libretto based on Latin American folklore and historical legends, this new work features soprano Estelí Gomez in her Ars Lyrica debut alongside a colorful chamber ensemble of Baroque oboe, strings, guitar, and harpsichord. A companion Spanish-language cantata from the Baroque era plus instrumental dances complete this all-Hispanic program.
