Info:
The five-time Grammy-winning San Francisco Girls Chorus will present the West Coast premiere of German-Kurdish composer Ralf Yusuf Gawlick's Kinderkreuzzug (Children's Crusade) based on Bertolt Brecht's moving account of a group of war orphans who band together to collectively survive the hardships inflected on them by adult conflict and search for a land of peace. The program, conducted by SFGC Principal Conductor Valerie Sainte-Agathe, will also feature the world premiere of a new arrangement by Philip Glass and SFGC Artistic Director Lisa Bielawa of Glass's Father Death Blues, a setting of Allen Ginsberg's poem of the same name, and Lili Boulanger's ethereal and stunning Pie Jesu. Two performances will be given Friday, April 17, at 8 pm at First Congregational Church, Berkeley and Sunday, April 19 at 4 pm at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, San Francisco. www.sfgirlschorus.org.
