The San Francisco Bay Area Chamber Choir, conducted by Music Director Scot Hanna-Weir, presents IN REMEMBRANCE, a concert reflecting upon loss, rest, and peace. Particularly as we enter our third full year of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced loss in so many ways as a community. IN REMEMBRANCE gives us a moment of pause and reflection, confronting our grief and pain with music of hope and consolation. Eleanor Daley’s haunting and mournful a cappella Requiem anchors the program along with spirituals and part songs.
Performances are 8:00 PM Friday, March 25 at Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley, 1 Lawson Rd. Kensington, and 4:00 PM Sunday, March 27 at Mission San Jose, 43300 Mission Blvd, Fremont.
The Sunday performance is part of Mission San Jose's 225th anniversary celebration. Founded in 1797, the Mission has a vibrant history of bringing music to the community, boasting its own choir and orchestra during the Spanish Franciscan era. SFBACC has enjoyed a decades-long relationship with the Mission, luxuriating in the lively acoustics of its historic sanctuary. Join us for our 2022 concerts to carry on this tradition of live music as we perform in one of our favorite venues!
