Featuring the Santa Fe Desert Chorale artists, soloists Edmund Milly & Savannah Porter, Artistic Director & conductor Joshua Habermann, and tabla player Sutanu Sur, performing Esmail’s The Tipping Point in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, New Mexico, during the Desert Chorale’s Summer Festival 2025.

This comes from the chorale’s new album Roots & Rivers. On the album, Santa Fe Desert Chorale expands the American choral canon with a curated selection of new works by American composers written specifically for the ensemble. The Tipping Point weaves together the traditions of Hindustani and Western classical music, drawing musicians from a variety of perspectives into dialogue and infusing Indian classical music into Western forms.
