Description
Dakota Pro Musica presents the 19th Century American Megahit, “Esther, the Beautiful Queen” by William Bradbury. Esther, the Beautiful Queen was maybe the most famous choral piece in America between 1856 and the Great Depression having been performed across the US and selling over 250,000 copies of the score. The piece seemingly disappeared after the Great Depression, and it is unclear if there have been any performances in the last 95 years. The concert features the professional choristers of Dakota Pro Musica and a guest soloist from across the US performing Esther, the Beautiful Queen, followed by three days of recording sessions to create the only professional commercial recording of Esther available in the world.
