Experienced singers are invited to audition with the Peninsula Women's Chorus. We are particularly looking for second altos, but all voice parts are welcome.
Highlights of the upcoming season will include the beloved classic Seven Joys of Christmas by Kirke Mechem, and Veljo Tormis' sonorous Autumn Landscapes. We will also embrace the lyrical voice of American women poets with settings by American composers, and introduce the Landmark Series, performing 20th century and recently composed masterworks that paved the way for the appreciation of innovative writing for treble voices.
Auditions are August 18, 29, and 20 by appointment only, or other dates by arrangement. Rehearsals are Monday evenings in Palo Alto.
Please read our auditions page for more information.
Assistant PWC Conductor Amy Stuart Hunn is leading the Stanford Summer Chorus during her break between PWC seasons. The Stanford Summer Chorus is a non-auditioned community chorus sponsored by the Stanford Department of Music. This year's program explores the powerful bonds of love, faith and common experience that connect human beings, in this life and beyond. The concert will feature American composer Paul Moravec's setting of war letters, Songs of Love and War, as well as selections from Five English Folk Songs of Ralph Vaughan Williams and Past Life Melodies by Sarah Hopkins.
The Summer Chorus concert will be held in Stanford Memorial Church on Saturday, August 9th, at 8 p.m.
Along with Ragazzi, the Peninsula Women's Chorus recently joined the Redwood Symphony to present Mahler's Symphony No. 3. Read a review of the concert by David Bratman of San Francisco Classical Voice.
