The Santa Cruz Chorale welcomes the Cantabella Children’s Chorus to Santa Cruz in an invitational concert "The Seasons of Our Children"

This performance includes songs about children and the seasons. We see the children in the playground and in solemn, sacred places; we shiver in the freezing winter wind and relax in a cool ocean breeze. We experience childhood in all places and all seasons. The program features Sub Tuum Praesidium (Miklós Kocsár), Gloria from Mass No.6 (Gyögy Orbán), Ave Maris Stella (Ko Matsushita), Virmalised (Veljo Tormis), and selected Folk Songs and Spirituals. The performance will also include the world premiere of a new work by the award-winning composer, Nackum Paik. This piece was commissioned by the Cantabella Children’s Chorus for their participation in the 2019 World Youth Choir Festival and Competition in Jeju Island, South Korea.

The Santa Cruz Chorale will join the Cantabella for part of this journey as we invite you to seek with us the sounds of the universe and discover new worlds around – and within – you.
