Feel the warmth of the California Sun through music with this homegrown concert as part of the California Festival: A Celebration of New Music! Weaving the music of Berkeley's own with those they have mentored and influenced in their work, the music of these five composers come together in California Connections. Embrace the healing sounds of Andean folk music through Gabriela Lena Frank's Kanto Kechua No. 2. Discover the majestic beauty of the Eastern Sierra Mountains in Ben Shirley's High Sierra Sonata. Berkeley High School Alum Anais Azul's Cascades and Canyons will transport you through the serenity and challenges of nature. Gabriella Smith's Carrot Revolution inspires new perspectives through historical techniques. Find yourself moving to the music with selections from John Adams's rhythmic Book of Alleged Dances. This concert will allow you to get up close and personal with the unique sounds of our state.
