We’re delighted to announce that each of our 2016-17 concerts will feature the world premiere of newly commissioned works. We’ll present a holiday program of works with woodwind quintet that features a new Missa Brevis by local composer Henry Mollicone, and other lesser-known Christmas pieces. In spring 2017 we’ll feature a major new work, “Songs of Isaiah”, composed by our Artistic Director, Sanford Dole, scored for harp and strings. Baroque masters, Pergolesi and J. S. Bach are included as well as other 21st-century gems. This year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, which we’ll celebrate next June with an a cappella concert of Shakespeare settings from across the globe.
We rehearse Monday nights, 7:30 pm at First United Methodist Church in Palo Alto. Rehearsals begin September 12, 2016. Our concerts are in Campbell, San Francisco, and Palo Alto.
