Symphonic II: You Have a Voice

× We open this program with vocalist Kelley O’Connor who brings the profound words of Argentinian feminist poet Alfonsina Storni to life in Bryce Dessner’s Voy a Dormir. The San Francisco Girls Chorus joins us to commemorate the upcoming anniversaries of the 19th Amendment and Voting Rights Act with May Kouyoumdjian's powerful Become Who I Am. After intermission, the evening concludes with Brahm's Symphony No. 1 in C minor, a work that took the composer nearly 20 years to complete.
