All Saints Episcopal Church, 555 Waverley St, Palo Alto, CA
Celebrating its eighth year, this exciting choral festival features the Bay Area’s finest treble choirs.
This year, the PWC joins forces with Musae of San Francisco and the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Ancora Choir of Oakland. We also welcome visiting guest choir Vox Femina Los Angeles conducted byIris Levine, in an exchange that will culminate in PWC’s visit to them in the spring of 2016.
In addition to individual performances by each group, the festival features Carol Barnett’s Song of Perfect Propriety, a tongue-in-cheek response to the unspoken rule that all women should be ladylike, as well as the mass chorus performance of One With the Wind, a piece rooted in the Lakota belief that identity and resiliency of the human spirit are formed through the bonds within a community.
Tickets are FREE for PWC season subscribers and students!
