Although Present Music’s (PM) Thanksgiving concert itself is on the 22nd, things actually get rolling on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. with a free talk featuring composer Christopher Cerrone at Colectivo Prospect Café. There he’ll discuss PM’s world premiere of his new work, The Branch Will Not Break. Other works on Sunday’s program are Caroline Shaw’s From Rivers, John Cage’s Apartment House 1776, Jehan Alain’s Litanies, Yehudi Wyner’s Shir Hashirim and Robert Honstein’s De Apostolis. The PM vocal ensemble, guest instrumental soloists, the Bucks Native American Singing and Drumming group and students from throughout the Milwaukee area join in the festivities.
