Dive into the infinite with the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra on May 4th for “Celestial Voyages.” This special concert evening will explore profound musical narratives about life, death, and the cosmic ballet between the celestial and the terrestrial. The program features Michael Orlinsky’s emotionally charged Requiem, masterfully combining Latin, English, and French texts to delve into themes of mortality and beyond, inspired by personal tragedy.
Marvel at the theatricality of Mark Alburger‘s King David Suite, where biblical sagas are reimagined through a blend of minimalist and modal expressions. Immerse yourself in Michael Cooke‘s Sun & Moon, inspired by the recent solar eclipse—a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow portrayed through innovative circle music. This piece exemplifies the cyclical nature of celestial events and their impact on human introspection.
Experience the global tapestry woven by Hussein Al-Nasrawi in International Wonders, and delight in the melodious complexities of James Cook’s Chamber Overture, a piece that sets the stage for an evening of auditory exploration.
Prepare for a night that transcends the ordinary and transports you through a symphony of soundscapes from Earth to the ethereal realms. Join us on May 4th at the Lakeside Presbyterian Church as we navigate the stars through music on this extraordinary journey.
