Program Highlights: “I Just Lightning” by Libby Larsen, “Trepute Martela” by Vaclovas Augustinas, “The Stove” by Zae Munn
We celebrate our third collaboration with San Francisco’s Golden Gate Men’s Chorus! In this choral event we present excerpts from the title piece, The Son of Man by Syrian -American composer Kareem Roustom. This Middle-Eastern-infused modern-day oratorio is set to the poetry of Kahlil Gibran. Rounding out the program are reflections on the power of women with Libby Larsen’s I Just Lightning, The Stove by Zae Munn, and a new work, Alma Submerged, by Frank Ferko. An exciting program with something for everyone!
