About a month ago, Noe Music announced the ten programs that will be performed in the Mainstage series. As is usually the case, these will all take place on Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. There will also be a special preview event for Reverberations. Composer-performers Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan will collaborate with the chamber collective Decoda for a work-in-progress preview performance of this composition, which will be given its world premiere in Carnegie Hall next season. This preview will take place at the Hosfelt Gallery, rather than the Noe Valley Ministry, which is located at 260 Utah Street, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 10. All other performances will take place at the Noe Valley Ministry at 1021 Sanchez Street, between 23rd Street and Elizabeth Street. Summaries of the programs to be performed are as follows:
