A Winter's Night: Songs of Evening, Stars & the Northern Lights (Alameda)

"Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!" -Lord Byron (Childe Harold)

Fly into Sacred and Profanes 40th season with a secular holiday concert about the night sky. This ethereal program will feature music by Monteverdi, Mendelssohn, Brahms, and Alfvén. We will also sing works by several contemporary composers, including Steven Stucky and Stacey Gibbs from the United States, Ola Gjeilo from Norway, and Karin Rehnqvist from Sweden. We are especially excited about riks Eenvalds, the young Latvian composer who has taken the choral world by storm, and we will be performing his moving Stars for choir and water-tuned wineglasses, in addition to other great works.
