The CSUF Percussion Ensemble, harpist Ellie Choate and the Manhattan Beach Middle School Chorus join the Camerata Singers and organ in ground-breaking new works by young composers Tarik O'Regan, Jonathan Dove, and indie rock darling Nico Muhly. The concert presents the world premiere of Ken Walicki's "just like a dream experience", a work for chorus, organ, percussion and harp based on a Buddhist text.

This work-arguably one of Bernstein's finest-is infused with echoes of West Side Story and Candide, and remains an audience favorite throughout the world.
