A forgotten 19th-century musical masterpiece, “Esther, the Beautiful Queen,” is being resurrected after 70 years — Dakota Pro Musica is performing it live for the first time and making the very first professional recording ever, with Grammy-nominated Boston sound wizards Soundmirror behind the boards. The project, costing $70K, has drawn crowds from across the country to historic venues like Bismarck, Richardson, and Valley City, turning this revival into a national musical event. More than just a concert, it’s a thrilling rediscovery of American musical heritage. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
