Choruses of UC Davis: "Iluminare: Vox Femina!"

Choir of singers in black holding sheet music, performing on stage

Event Date

Location
Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts

Illuminating choral works written by female composers over two centuries, central work of the program is a multi-movement work — Iluminare — by award-winning composer Elaine Hagenberg. Also featured is a work by Professor of Music Laurie San Martin, which uses poetry by UC Davis's Pulitzer-Prize winning faculty member, Gary Snyder.

Using lesser-known sacred Latin, Greek, and English texts, ["Iluminare"] takes us through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion. But as Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace. Elaine Hagenberg
