City Corner for September 2026

Nac Historic Sites Presents: Cruzando Caminos: Singing Spanish Poetry in the South
Cruzando Caminos takes its name seriously: on the evening of September 11, the paths of five artists — and centuries of Spanish-language verse — converge in Nacogdoches, Texas, for an evening of music, storytelling, and poetry sung aloud.

The evening opens at 5:00 p.m. with a reception, followed by an artist talk from Dr. Hannah Snavely, an ethnomusicologist and professor at Stephen F. Austin State University, who will set the stage with the décima’s long migration before the music begins. The concert itself starts at 7:00 p.m.: each artist or group performs in turn, introducing the audience to their own corner of the tradition, before all five come together for a collaborative finale — the paths crossing at last, in the same room.
