Chromatica presents Rising Stars -- The Next Generation of American Choral Composers on November 16 and 17.
Following Chromatica’s spectacular (and sold out) world premiere concerts of Christopher Tin’s Transfigurations last April, we present Rising Stars -- The Next Generation of American Choral Composers. Chromatica’s Fall concerts will be at 7pm on November 16 at Resurrection Lutheran Church, 7557 Amador Valley Blvd, Dublin, and at 3pm on November 17 at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 433 Moraga Way in Orinda.
Chromatica has selected music from the next generation of new choral composers for this program. Among them, Christopher Tin’s I Shall Not See the Shadows from his Lost Birds. The program includes Elaine Hagenberg’s – Nox, Splendor, O Love and When We Love. Marques Garrett adds two reimagined spirituals – Rise and Shine and Soon I will be Done. Transfigurations lyricist Charles Anthony Silvestri is represented by John Wykoff’s Claddagh Crown and Hagenberg’s When We Love.
“Our April world premiere concerts represented the high point of Chromatica’s history so far. This concert moves us to the next level in recognizing the extraordinary talent in the next generation of choral composers” said David Huff, founding director of Chromatica.
