Volti: Pathways, Flood and Delusions

Volti, San Francisco's premiere new music vocal ensemble, wraps up its 33rd season by renewing recent acquaintances and introducing new ones. Two works commissioned by Volti and premiered last season anchor this concert: "Delusional Paths," Tom Flaherty's settings of Stephen Crane, and Tamar Diesendruck's expansive unfolding of the minimal Giuseppe Ungaretti texts, "Other Floods." The program features premieres by recent Berlin Prize recipient Ken Ueno and this year's winner of Volti's young-composer competition, Francisco Cortés-Álvarez. The program also includes Cortés-Álvarez's sparkling "Galope" for treble voices, sung by guest artists Ancora from the Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir.
