Left Coast explores the voices of women composers of California in song, both historical and contemporary, ranging from Elinor Remick Warren and Carrie Jacobs-Bond to Vivian Fung, Addie Camsuzou and Gabriela Lena Frank. Works for piano by Gabriella Smith and Henry Cowell complement the program which spans more than a century of Californian music.
Left Coast presents two programs as part of the inaugural California Festival: A Celebration of New Music, which is happening throughout the state from November 3-19th: "This Is What It Means" and "Art Song and Keyboard Music of California." We present more than twelve different Californian composers and span more than a century of music. How we listen to nature in a changing world is a current which runs through these concerts.
