Salt Creek Song Festival is a weeklong celebration of art and song in the heart of Downtown Ashland, NE.

Featuring two contemporary works, our second mainstage concert of the week explores identity, resilience, and the complexity of the American experience through bold, expressive music.

The program includes Ice and Fire by Wendell Logan, performed by soprano Jen Townsley, baritone Brandon Bell, and pianist Zachary Peterson. This work is paired with American Sonnets by Carlos Simon, featuring Bell and Peterson, setting texts that reflect on history, race, and humanity in America.

All Festival Week events are free and open the public, however space is limited. Thought not required, an RSVP is strongly encourage. RSVP here.

This event is made possible by the generous support of our community, including Nebraska Arts Council and Humanities Nebraska.
