A STORY BRIAN HAD TO TELL

\n
\"In 1972, the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing called San Leandro, CA. \"a racist bastion of white supremacy\". It was considered one of the most racist suburbs in America. CBS News and Newsweek covered the story. The US Commission on Civil Rights conducted hearings. And then, we moved to town.\"

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED

\"A beautiful mix of wry humor and heartbreak, indignation and inspiration, a singular story of extreme isolation that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt out of place.\" — San Francisco Chronicle

Experience the extraordinary range of vocal and choral music with the San Francisco Choral Society this November. Dimensions of Sound brings together powerful sacred masterworks, contemplative contemporary music, and the exquisite musical colors of French composers Nadia and Lili Boulanger.

At the heart of the program are two remarkable works for chorus: Louis Vierne’s Messe solennelle, a magnificent setting rich in sonic splendor, and Arvo Pärt’s Berliner Messe, a luminous and deeply moving work that finds profound beauty in simplicity.

The program also turns to the intimate world of French music with works by the celebrated Boulanger sisters. Nadia Boulanger’s Cantique and Lili Boulanger’s Prélude in Ré♭ and Les Sirènes offer a contrasting perspective, revealing the expressive beauty of the soprano voice and piano.

From the expansive sound of the chorus to the delicate interplay of voice and piano, this program explores the many ways music can move, inspire, and transport us.

What if Bad Acting could Kill? Joseph R. McGee Jr. has spent his entire life preparing for this role. In the World Premiere of R3*, he brings Shakespeare’s Richard III to the stage single-handedly: star, director, creator, and puppeteer. Critics have called it ambitious.
