Left Coast and the San Francisco Girls Chorus team up to present a program which centers the voices of Californian women composers at the California Festival.
We interweave instrumental and vocal works by Pauline Oliveros, Gabriela Lena Frank, Reena Esmail, Gabriella Smith, Lisa Bielawa, and Ursula Kwong-Brown with the music of Nicolás Lell Benavides, Caroline Shaw, and Hildegard von Bingen. The two ensembles join forces to premiere a new work written for the occasion by Sarah Gibson.
This concert is generously sponsored by Susan Shalit and Mary Logger.
