Come trace the arc of transcendence, where ancient echoes entwine with contemporary voices in a rich tapestry of the timeless and the sublime!
Witness the enduring power of prophetic women whose voices transcend time in Bay Area composer Eric Tuan’s 𝘈 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 and feel the heartfelt connection in Pamela Z’s innovative “Pen Pal.” From Stanford’s composition program, “Mahi” reveals the courage of finding one’s voice, while “Subtler the Subtlety” invites us to a soundscape that transcends familiar harmony, exploring unseen realms. The stirring grace of Handel’s 𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘩, the soothing balm of Joan Szymko’s “The Peace of Wild Things,” and Shira Cion’s meditative prayer, “Ma Navu,” all embrace transcendence in its most revered forms. The program culminates in a joyous medley of holiday songs from around the world, lifting us together in a final transcendent moment of shared music and spirit.
