The Stanford Symphonic Chorus and the Peninsula Symphony are joining forces next weekend to present a concert of American music. The program includes Copland's Quiet City, Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and (most exciting) the world premiere of local composer Brian Holmes' Amherst Requiem, a setting of the traditional Latin text mixed with several of Emily Dickinson's poems medidating on various aspects of death. (I haven't heard the whole thing yet, as the chorus is present in only three of the movements, but I really like what I've heard so far!)

Performances are this Friday Nov 21 at 8 PM, and Sunday Nov 23 at 2 PM. Both performances are at Memorial Church on Stanford Campus. Tickets are $10 student, $20 adult. You may purchase tickets in advance from Peninsula Symphony's website, or purchase them at the door.
Hope to see you there!
