Earlier This Season

Music can transform and delight, move, comfort, and celebrate with the power of both sound and silence. We’ll travel the sound waves of Hebrew psalms, German partsongs, Renaissance motets, Ladino lullabies, thoughtful meditations, and a vigorous Zulu song of encouragement! Featuring Brahms, Byrd, Carter, Fanny Hensel, Vaughan Williams, Conte, Dawson, and more, including two world premieres!

Earlier This Season

Sound and (Not Much) Silence

Join us as we explore the ephemeral power of both sound and silence: music’s ability to transform and delight, to move, comfort, and celebrate. We sing of birds, trees, and outer space, of love, pain, and laughter.

Nedel , and Composer-Not-in-Residence Caroline Mallonee) and a work by Bay Area favorite Henry Mollicone, in whose memory the program is dedicated.
