Info:
The San Francisco Girls Chorus (SFGC) concludes its 2016-2017 season in collaboration with New York's Trinity Youth Chorus. Making their West Coast debut, the Trinity Youth Chorus from Trinity Wall Street in Manhattan will share the stage with SFGC for the U.S. Premiere of Song of Seals by Canadian composer and SFGC alumna Emily Doolittle. The program will also feature Vivaldi's Gloria, recently performed by SFGC at the SHIFT Festival at the Kennedy Center in April 2017, and John Tavener's Hymns of Paradise.
Trinity Youth Chorus is part of an extensive and renowned arts program at Trinity Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, with members ranging in age from four to eighteen. Members of the Trinity Youth Chorus regularly perform alongside the professional Choir of Trinity Wall Street and receive a rigorous music education that includes theory, sight-reading, performances skills and vocal techniques.
A graduate of the San Francisco Girls Chorus ('85), Emily Doolittle has received numerous commissions including Symphony Nova Scotia, Orchestre Metropolitan (Montreal) and the New York Youth Symphony as well as receiving awards such as two ASCAP Morton Gould Awards and the Bearn's Prize. As a biologist and "zoomusicologist," much of her work derives from her scholarly interest and studies of the relationship between music and sounds from the natural world. Song of Seals is one such work that explores the various ways in which seals communicate with each other. Written in collaboration with Gaelic poet Rody Gorman, Song of Seals also incorporates Doolittle's interest in Gaelic folklore, specifically the mythical Selkies that are said to live as seals but shed their skin to become human on land. The work was premiered in Glasgow by the Paragon Ensemble and Voice Factory Children's Choir in 2011.
