The season opens on October 25, 2017 at Herbst Theatre with the program – Philip Glass and the Class of ’37 – in recognition of the composer’s 80th birthday this year. The program features a selection of Glass’ works that are available for performance only with members of the Philip Glass Ensemble, including excerpts from the opera Einstein on the Beach; mixed-media work The Photographer; and the soundtrack to Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi. Tracing four centuries of classical music lineage and contextualizing the composer’s 1937 birth year, the program will also include works by composers from the “class of ‘37” - Dietrich Buxtehude (born 1637), Joseph Michael Haydn (born 1737) and Mily Balakirev (born 1837). SFGC’s own Artistic Director Lisa Bielawa, a longstanding member of the PGE, is delighted to welcome two other longstanding members as guest artists: Music Director and keyboardist Michael Riesman, and saxophone-flutist Andrew Sterman.
 
Building on previous collaborations, SFGC joins Opera Paralléle from December 1-3, 2017 at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture for three performances of the opera The Little Prince by Academy Award-winning composer Rachel Portman and librettist Nicholas Wright. Based on the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry about a boy who falls from space into the Sahara desert, The Little Prince will be performed with a twist casting SFGC choristers in principal roles typically performed by young boys. Commenting on the April 2014 production of Kurt Weill’s Mahagonny Songspeil, San Francisco Classical Voice praised SFGC’s collaboration between Opera Parallèle as “a joy to hear.”
 
The season continues December 18, 2017 with a San Francisco Girls Chorus tradition – the annual holiday concert at Davies Symphony Hall. This year’s concert – Greetings from all Seasons – is inspired by the diverse range of holiday traditions celebrated by SFGC’s choristers. Through the collection of stories from choristers about their respective holiday experiences, a unique program was formed to tell a special ‘SFGC Holiday Tale’ that ranges from Luminaria to Hannukah to Victory Day to Holi to Nawrouz to Christmas, from Mexico to Haiti, from Syria to Ireland, from Armenia to China. Hundreds of members from the Chorus and Chorus School will take to the stage in a festive program, including performances, some of them world premieres, of works sung in Hindi, Arabic, Farsi, Spanish and more, and will be joined by SFGC alumna (1995) and soloist, soprano Michele Kennedy, praised as a “fine young soprano with a lovely voice” (Washington Post).
 
In February, SFGC travels to New York for its Carnegie Hall debut on Friday, February 16, 2018. In a continuation of the yearlong celebration of the music of Philip Glass and its ongoing collaboration with Philip Glass Ensemble, SFGC and PGE team up for a remounting of the composer’s seminal 1971 work, Music with Changing Parts. Following the New York performance, both ensembles return to San Francisco to perform the program at Davies Symphony Hall, on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, presented by San Francisco Performances.
 
On the heels of the early 2018 release of its newest album, SFGC concludes its own season on Sunday, April 22, 2018 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts with Strings Attached, a program featuring a selection of works from the recording along with the world premiere of the chamber version of violinist/composer Colin Jacobsen’s If I Were Not Me, which was originally premiered at the 2016 New York Philharmonic Biennial festival at Lincoln Center. Jacobsen, who is a founding member of two intrepid New York-based ensembles, The Knights orchestra and Brooklyn Rider, is also a regular performer with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. Other works on the program include a wordless septet by French composer André Caplet (Debussy’s copyist), Opening: Forest from Lisa Bielawa’s TV opera Vireo, Aleksandra Vrebalov’s Bubbles, Carla Kihlstedt’s Herring Run, Theo Bleckmann’s Final Answer, Gabriel Kahane’s Back of the Choir and Meredith Monk’s Panda Chant.
 
SFGC’s 2017-2018 performance season concludes on June 7 & 9, 2018, at First Congregational Church in Berkeley, with a project in collaboration with the San Francisco Early Music Society and Voices of Music. SFEMS, through its 2018 Berkeley Festival & Exhibition, will present SFGC and VoM in two historically-informed concert performances of Henry Purcell’s 1680 opera, Dido and Aeneas. Full concert information will be announced by SFEMS at a later date.
 
As part of SFGC’s commitment to championing the music of living composers, its Chorus School includes a season–long Composer-in-Residence program which provides its nearly 300 choristers, ages 5-18, hands-on, intimate experience with the process of creating and performing new music. For the 2017-2018 school year, SFGC welcomes Bay Area composer, performer, and media artist Pamela Z as its third Composer-in-Residence. In this position, Pamela Z will visit rehearsals, work closely with the Directors of each of the Chorus School’s four choruses, and create a new work to be premiered next May by the entire cohort of choristers. Pamela Z’s work places emphasis on music for voice, live electronic processing, sampled sound and video. She regularly tours throughout the world and has appeared at international festivals such as Bang on a Can (NY), Other Minds (San Francisco), La Biennale di Venezia (Italy) and Pina Bausch Tanztheater (Germany). Among the groups that have commissioned works from Pamela Z is Kronos Quartet, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble and St. Luke’s Chamber Orchestra.
