Peninsula Cantare Presents "Starry Night" on Dec. 13

Cañada College choir concert will focus on holiday music.

Peninsula Cantare offers a shining array of music about night and stars. As the sun descends through Hugo Alfvén’s Evening, Brahms’ O Schöne Nacht and Abendlied, you will be immersed in a “heaven full of stars” in the Three Nocturnes by Dan Forrest. Written in 2008, this lush and evocative piece is scored for percussion ensemble. Music for the Holiday season sparkles with John Rutter’s Star Carol, William Dawson’s Behold the Star, Poulenc’s Videntes Stellam and other starry gems by Mendelssohn, Tallis, Dello Joio and local composer Brian Holmes.

The concert will be held in the Main Theater on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 3 p.m. General admission is $20, students and seniors $15. Cañada students are admitted free. For more information go to www.peninsulacantare.org or call 650-593-4287.
