Escondido Choral Arts presents Music in the Springtime

Music in the Springtime

The Center Chorale, Pacific Coast Chorale and full orchestra with guest soloists will perform a concert featuring Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living and other Twenty-first Century composers in a celebration of Spring conducted by John Nettles, Artistic Director of the Escondido Choral Arts Foundation. The five movements of Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living is a prayer for rest, and the fourth movement, the Sanctus, offers three different glimpses of the “heavens and earth, full of Thy glory”, all of which develop the same musical motive: an ethereal opening section inspired by images of space from the Hubble Space Telescope, a stirring middle section inspired by images of our own planet as viewed from the International Space Station, and a closing section which brings the listener down to Earth, where cities teem with the energy of humanity. Appreciation for the natural beauty of Life through Music in Springtime will fill us with peace and rest.

Standard Tickets $36 including fees (face value $30). Discounts available for Senior, Student, Military and Child. No fees if purchased at the CCAE Box Office
