海角视频鈥檚 Vox Pro Musica, directed by Jenelle Westerbeck Anderson, and Orchestra, directed by Rachelle Berthelsen Davis, embarks on their winter tour to Southern California next week. All events are free and open to the public.
Anderson will lead Vox Pro Musica in several pieces, including William Dawson鈥檚 famous Ain鈥檃 That Good News! and a Moses Hogan spiritual, We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace. Additionally, the choir will sing Durufle鈥檚 Ubi Caritas. The latter鈥檚 text reads:
"Where there is charity and love, God is there.
The love of Christ has gathered us together,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us revere and love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love one another."
鈥淭his is a beautiful a capella motet based on medieval chant,鈥 explains Anderson, 鈥渨ith a text that reflects the overarching theme of all the choir's sacred music this year: Peace and Community.鈥
Orchestra, led by Davis, will perform Ernest Bloch鈥檚 Concerto Grosso No. 1 featuring soloist Nathan Kim on the piano. Antonio Vivaldi鈥檚 Concerto for Two Cellos in G minor highlights soloists Aaron Baluyot and Andrew Caster. They will also perform works by Bach and Telemann, as well as several hymn arrangements.
Performances begin on Friday, Feb. 8, at Glendale Adventist Academy in Glendale, at 10:30 & 11:15 a.m., and 12 p.m. That evening, the ensembles will put on a special vespers program at the Central Filipino Adventist Church in Los Angeles at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, Feb. 9, VPM and the Orchestra will perform for the church service at Eagle Rock Adventist Church at 11 a.m.
A vespers program at Campus Hill Adventist Church at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9, rounds out the tour. This event will feature guest artist and PUC alumnus Tad Worku.
