EARTH SYMPHONY

Saturday, May 18, 2024 | 7:30pm

Celebrate the end of our season with the Bay Area premiere of Jake Runestad’s Emmy Award-winning Earth Symphony for chorus and orchestra. This five-part dramatic work is conceived from the voice of post-anthropocene Mother Earth, imagining Earth’s hope for humanity, her ruination at its hands, her lament at its loss, and finally her recovery. Join us for a truly exquisite evening of storytelling, beauty, and joyous celebration in a season finale you won’t soon forget.
