Peninsula Chamber Musicians – Rhapsodies: Peninsula Chamber Musicians

 

Funding Amount: $44,083.00

The Peninsula Chamber Musicians (PCM) are developing a Chamber Opera series. The main work of the concert would be the Brahms Alto Rhapsody scored for Chamber Orchestra, Alto Soloist and Tenor and Bass Chorale. Programmed with this would be a companion piece, for the same instrumentation and voices, commissioned by PCM from composer Katy Abbott - “Stars that Split the Night”. The choral participants would be gathered from the numerous local Peninsula choirs and facilitated by four choral specialists to learn the double tenor and double bass parts of the Rhapsody and Abbott before joining with the orchestra in rehearsal and performance.
