Pacific Passions II
June 2–4, 2023
June 2–4, 2023
Ever since our 2011 concert of music by West Coast composers, “Pacific Passions,” BCG participants have been sharing fond memories of that show. Now, more than a decade later, it is time to revisit our region's choral scene, expanding our scope to include accompanied pieces. On this program we present Morten Lauridsen’s Ubi Caritas et Amor, Kevin Memley’s Gloria in Excelsis Deo, Dale Trumbore’s Threads of Joy, David Conte’s Ave Maria, and Sanford Dole’s Glory to God for All Things, plus works by exciting, up-and-coming West Coast composers Saunder Choi, Reena Esmail, Amy Gordon, John Muehleisen, Zanaida Robles, Karen P. Thomas, and Eric Tuan.
There will be a preview lecture one half hour before each performance.
Read the program notes by artistic director Sanford Dole, which include links to the websites of all the composers on the program.
