Cultivating Hope
PWC’s winter concert fuels the flame of hope with a rich selection of international holiday songs celebrating Kwanzaa, Christmas, and Noche Buena, interwoven with songs of light, faith, and survival. Join us in cultivating hope through works that connect us to traditions, practices, histories, and wisdom, revealing the ever-present possibilities around us.
Experience the hope through PWC classics such as the vocal arrangement of “New World Symphony” from Song of Survival, J.S. Bach’s intimate “Suscepit Israel,” and our Composer-in-Residence, Amy X Neuburg’s poignant “Before I Forget.” See the light in Morten Lauridsen’s luminously serene “Sure on this Shining Night,” Joan Szymko’s reflective “Only Light, Only Love,” and Anton Bruckner’s soaring “Os Justi,” arranged for treble voices by PWC’s Artistic Director Anne Hege.
Don’t miss your chance to hear Bay Area composer Eric Tuan’s rousing “Ain’t I A Woman?” from his four-part set A Great Cloud of Witnesses and the world premiere of the treble arrangement of Los Angeles composer Saunder Choi’s “Meet Me for Noche Buena.” Bound to be a new holiday classic, this vibrant work depicts the joyous and colorful celebrations of Noche Buena, with poetry by San Mateo’s former Poet Laureate, Aileen Cassinetto.
Join us for a glorious and uplifting concert!
