Piano Recital

at "haunted" Sunshine Villa

on

Saturday, October 22nd,

10:30 a.m.

Did you know...That ...

"...the Sunshine Villa was previously the old McCray Hotel and its dark past holds plenty of history within its walls and surroundings. Legends say that before the classic Victorian was built on the property in the 1860s, the Ohlone Indians performed rituals there and utilized it as sacred Indian burial grounds." (read more about it in Aubrey Graves's book "Supernatural Santa Cruz")

Ode to St. Cecilia

St. Cecilia’s biography is shrouded in mystery, and the supposed events leading to her sainthood are more fantasy than fact. Nonetheless, she has been revered for centuries as the patron saint of musicians, and countless compositions have been composed in her honour. The Santa Cruz Chorale will present two of Henry Purcell’s compositions dedicated to St. Cecilia: “Welcome to all the Pleasures: Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day 1683,” and “Te Deum and Jubilate: for St. Cecilia’s Day 1694”. Purcell’s compositions will stand in contrast to the 20th century “Hymn to St. Cecilia” (Op. 27) by Benjamin Britten—who himself was born on St. Cecilia’s day.

Christian Grube, the Chorale's Artistic Director, is Emeritus Professor of choral conducting at the Berlin University of Arts. His choirs are known for their superb sound, impeccable intonation, broad range of dynamic expression, and ability to interpret the most diverse styles. They have been praised for their rendition of motets, madrigals and masses of the Renaissance, and also for their performances of romantic and modern choral works. On one of the three tours of his Chamber Choir to the U.S., the reviewer of the Washington Post called the performance in Washington, D.C., "the best choral concert I have heard this year."
