Our Eighth Season
Eight and counting; we're wrapping up our busiest season ever! We bring this season to a close with our concert in June. We're really excited about this concert because we're doing something completely new, literally! We have commissioned five new works from three composers specifically for this performance. We will be premiering these works during the first half of the program and the second half of the program will feature Haydn's Organ Mass and Renaissance motets by Hassler, Handl and Gibbons. This will be a wonderful program of old and new music. Be sure to join us in June!
We wrapped up our 7th season with a double-choir treat. The Choral Alchemy of Los Angeles (CALA) and the New Choir joined together under the direction of Eileen Chang for a concert to the heavenly land. The performances were in Anaheim and San Jose. The program included Stanford's motet for double choir, Coelos Ascendit Hodie, Bach's double motet, Komm, Jesu, Komm, and three settings of Kyrie by Dufay, Palestrina and Beethoven. We also had the great pleasure of introducing another new composition by Ms. Nak-Keum Baik, the Jacob's Ladder.
The 7th annual Christmas with the New Choir took you on a journey around the world. We brought to you an evening of Christmas music with works old and new from all around the world. The program included works by Stanford, Lauridsen, Poulenc, Victoria, Mozart, Mechem and others and the performance set a new record for us for the number of different languages performed in a single concert. We sang in Latin, French, Burgundian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and, of course, Korean and English. Our sixth season proved to be a very busy and exciting one. Here are some highlights from the past season:
