“Intoxicating and powerful” The San Francisco Chronicle
The San Francisco Choral Society presents
ALL-NIGHT VIGIL by Sergei Rachmaninoff
This a cappella masterpiece is among Rachmaninoff’s finest accomplishments. He created this extraordinary work in 1915 as a plea for peace in time of war; he filled it with deep sadness— and outpourings of pure joy. A MONUMENT of RUSSIAN SACRED MUSIC.
Maestro ROBERT GEARY conducts
The San Francisco Choral Society
with Special Guests
The GOLDEN GATE MEN’S CHORUS - Joseph Piazza, Music Director
in the acoustically glorious ST. IGNATIUS CHURCH
Kirill Dushechkin, Tenor / Katherine McKee, Alto
ST. IGNATIUS CHURCH at the University of San Francisco
650 Parker at Fulton, San Francisco CA 94115
All-Night Vigil was among Rachmaninoff’s favorite compositions— so close to his heart that he requested portions of it be performed at his own memorial.
"You can count on hearing some high-quality choral music, as Artistic Director Robert Geary and his
Society have certainly proven over the years." San Francisco Classical Voice
