Ever since our 2011 concert of music by West Coast composers, "Pacific Passions", BCG participants have been sharing fond memories of that show. Now, more than a decade later, it is time to revisit and expand the scope of our survey. Pacific Passions II includes pieces by West Coast-based women and persons of color, and we're including piano-accompanied works to give us more options.
We're also showcasing newer works by some of our favorite composers from the original collection. Kevin Memley, whose Ave Maria was a hit in 2011, is represented by his upbeat Gloria in Excelsis Deo, and leading San Francisco composer David Conte's Invocation and Dance concludes the program.
There will be a pre-concert lecture by Sanford Dole 30 minutes before the performance.
