April 4 in Palo Alto; April 5 in San Francisco www.sfconcertchorale.org
Think of it as just another concert in Paradise. Bringing heavenly sounds to earth with their ethereal music, the esteemed San Francisco Concert Chorale (www.sfconcertchorale.org ) continues its 35th anniversary season with two Bay Area concerts: Friday, April 4 at 7pm in Palo Alto (All Saint’s Episcopal Church, 555 Waverly Street) and Saturday, April 5 in San Francisco at 8pm (Mission Dolores Basilica, 16th & Dolores).
The centerpiece of the concerts will feature both the Chorale and the Ensemble joining forces in selections from the Frank Martin Mass for double choir in addition to selections from across the vast repertoire of choral music. Composers such as Byrd, Paulus, Durufle, and Bach will be highlighted in what promises to be an unforgettable evening of choral masterpieces and a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration.
Dedicated to introducing choral treasures, the Concert Chorale performs both favorites and less familiar works from throughout the choral repertoire. The group has presented the Bay Area premieres of Conrad Susa's oratorio The Wise Women, Antal Dorati's Pater Noster, and Robert Levin's completion of Mozart’s Requiem, the latter in collaboration with the Wyoming-based Cheyenne Chamber Singers. The Chorale is also noted for its inspiring and unique performances of Handel’s Messiah. Additional collaborations have included work with the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company, the Kronos Quartet, the Bay Area Women's Philharmonic, the Golden Gate Boys' Choir, and the London Piano Duo.
Individual tickets for both Paradise Found concerts are $21 and may be purchased online at www.sfconcertchorale.org
