Two epic pilgrimages to opposite ends of the earth set the stage for brand new works, including LAMC’s next installment of "LA is the World." Shawn Kirchner, LAMC’s Swan Family Composer in Residence, creates his grandest composition to date with "Songs of Ascent" (WORLD PREMIERE), a lyrical seven-movement work for voices and strings set to psalms that were sung by pilgrims on their journey to Jerusalem. We then travel farther east with distinguished Korean composer Nack-Kum Paik, who will create a new work for double choir in collaboration with the Los Angeles Chamber Choir.

ODC Theater
3153 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94110 Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, in collaboration with Volti, presents its first opera – a new dramatic musical work based on Nobel Prize winner José Saramago's novel "Death with Interruptions." With music composed by Kurt Rohde and a libretto by the distinguished UC Berkeley historian Thomas Laqueur, the story recounts what happens when death, who lives in an unnamed Iberian country with her taciturn scythe, falls in love with the principal cellist of a local orchestra and fails to claim his life.
The program opens with a contrasting take on the imagined embodiment of death––Franz Schubert's famous Andante con moto from String Quartet No.14 in D Minor, D.810, Death and the Maiden. Additional free performance of "Death with Interruptions" only – 12:15pm, Monday, March 16, 2015 at Hertz Hall, UC Berkeley campus. For more details, or to purchase tickets, please visit leftcoastensemble.org. JUNE 2015 June 27, 2015, 7:30pm, $25 / $45 / $65
