AGAVE
Reginald Mobley, countertenor

Early Music group AGAVE is renowned for its spirited performances spanning seventeenth to twentieth-century chamber music with "a certain let-down-your-hair quality" (AllMusic). The group has garnered accolades for their performances and recordings, including a GRAMMY nomination for their album with velvet-voiced countertenor Reginald Mobley, American Originals. A celebration of music by mostly Black and brown composers, the program showcases music by Cuban composer Esteban Salas, extraordinary Black American composer Florence B. Price, ragtime master Scott Joplin, and more, as voices unite to create a uniquely American sound.
