The second subscription concert to be presented in the 30th anniversary season of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble (LCCE) will be performed here in San Francisco in a little over a week’s time. The full title of the program is Sounds Divine: A Transcendent Concert Experience. The program will explore a variety of spiritual experiences involving mysticism and ecstasy. Three of the selections were composed in the twentieth century:
- Maurice Ravel’s two songs entitled Mélodies hébraïques (Hebrew songs), the first setting a text in Aramaic and the second in Yiddish
- The five songs in the second book of Olivier Messiaen’s Poèmes pour Mi collection, “Mi” being the nickname of the composer’s first wife Claire Delbos
- Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel”
These will alternate with three more recent compositions:
- “Just a Moment” by Eric Nathan
- “Shouts” by T.J. Anderson
- “Dervish” by Errollyn Wallen
The San Francisco performance of this program will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, October 24. The venue will be the San Francisco Conservatory of Music building at 50 Oak Street, a short walk from the Van Ness Muni station. Tickets are being sold for $35 with a $10 rate for students. A single Web page has been created for purchasing these tickets. The price for general admission tickets on the day of the performance will be $38.
