About the 2009-2010 Season

This season, we are celebrating a greater intimacy with the natural world, and our love of place. Our next performance at St Mary’s College, Shadows and Reflections, will illuminate Eric Whitacre’s She Weeps Over Rahoon double choir sonorities, and works by Schubert, Paulus, and Okamura. Then in June, our spring performances will bring along the excitement of premiering two works from our Youth Inspiring Youth project in a concert entitled Songs from the New World, showcasing repertoire from the Americas.

Come hear innocence and hope in Benjamin Britten’s masterpiece and audience-favorite, written on his voyage home to Britain in 1942. Britten’s decision to return home after his time in the United States was certainly influenced by “a love of place”. A stunning Magnificat in 10 parts (conceived as a “prayer labyrinth”) by Christine Donkin and works by Debussy, Carter, and Matsushita will complement.
