Pacific Serenades
Dark Woods and Gleaming Cities

This season's adventures embrace, again, the blurring of boundaries between jazz,
film music, opera, and traditional chamber music;
balancing the anguish of war with a commitment to life;
pieces which seem to come out of the blue,
others equally bold in using traditional forms;
fairy tales right next to stories from modern Europe and America;
the soulfulness and joy that are baroque music
sharing the stage with modern words.
