This year\u2019s Festival promises to introduce thousands more to such music as Tillery joins with the acclaimed ensemble Black Voices from Birmingham, England to perform the newly commissioned work A Long Journey Home: Concertizing the Golden Triangle. The theme of \u201csurvival\u201d takes on additional meaning with the Festival\u2019s closing night concert at Grace Cathedral, a performance which coincides with the end of the Cathedral\u2019s exhibition of The Keiskamma Altarpiece: a monumental artwork created by rural South African women whose families have been devastated by AIDS \/HIV. The Altarpiece conveys a message of hope for people who are contending with the devastation that AIDS has wrought in their lives in the midst of poverty and other hardships.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sfiaf.org%20\/2007\/artists\/music\/tillery.html\">http:\/\/www.sfiaf.org \/2007\/artists\/music\/tillery.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/culturalheritagechoir.jpg\" alt=\"culturalheritagechoir.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe Cultural Heritage Choir<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/blackvoicesuk.jpg\" alt=\"blackvoicesuk.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nBlack Voices (UK)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco International Arts Festival 2007 The Truth in Knowing\/A Conversation Across the African Diaspora May 16 \u2013 May 27\u00a0 SKYE\u2019S FESTIVAL PICK\u00a0 Linda Tillery &amp; the Cultural Heritage Choir (USA) in collaboration with Black Voices (England) and A Bay Area Community Chorus A Long Journey Home: Concertizing the Golden Triangle Friday, May 25, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1c8Xx-1L","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.kuma2.net\/skyeview\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
