Borderland was an innovative choral experience featuring a premiere work by local composer Nathan Felix called “Austin Border Stories.” Commissioned by Panoramic Voices, this full-length, immersive choral piece is inspired by Hispanic history. It is “about borders and border stories… immigration stories from Mexico into Texas and Austin,” says the composer. Singers were scattered across KMFA’s stunning new east side building, sharing vignettes in different installations throughout the entire space. Audiences had an experience akin to visiting a museum, while enjoying powerful opening and closing pieces that brought the choir together.
