Dreamscape: Realizing a Better Future (Berkeley)

To dream has always been a metaphor for realizing our hopes and visions for a world of peace and belonging. In addition to works about actual dreams by Jean Sibelius and Ralph Vaughan Williams, we will sing Eric Whitacre’s beloved neo-Renaissance madrigal Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine, Melissa Dunphy’s #UnitedWeDream, a setting of a text by the Guatemalan-American DREAMer Claudia D. Hernandez, and Derrick Skye’s brilliant social justice anthem, a vision unfolding. Our program will also feature Trevor Weston’s setting of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous last speech, Visions of Glory, and the young Swedish composer Jacob Mühlrad’s Dreams, a setting of a powerful poem by Langston Hughes. We are thrilled to present the premiere of Now is the Time, a new work by composer Michael Bussewitz-Quarm that sets her own text about her transition and realizing her dream of becoming a woman.
