Gaude Vocal Chamber Ensemble

Directed by Jace Wittig (former Music Director of Chanticleer), Gaude is the newest vocal chamber ensemble in the San Francisco choral scene. The a cappella ensemble features a select group of professional singers from the San Francisco Bay Area. In its inaugural performance Gaude sings the joyous mysteries of the season, as told through transcendent Christmastide musical traditions around the world.  The program includes Gregorian and Orthodox chant juxtaposed with the decadent Russian Romantic harmonies of Rachmaninoff and Golovanov. The modern voices of  Sir John Tavener, Ivan Moody, and Arvo Pärt blend ancient texts with new sounds.

The Lee Trio

“These virtuosic sisters, Lisa (violin), Angela (cello), and Melinda (piano), who have won awards in Berlin, London, Finland and Italy, leave an indelible mark wherever they perform. Worldwide concert artists of the first order, they are known for their performances of the classic repertoire.  Members of The Lee Trio are graduates of the Curtis Institute, the Juilliard School, Yale and Harvard, the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater Hannover. The Trio was awarded the 2007 Gotthard-Schierse-Stiftung grant in Berlin for rising international artists. “It is not just their rich palette of tone colours that marks them out, but also the delicious sense of collusion that animates their ensemble playing.”

(The Strad) Performing trios by Shostakovich, Stravinsky and Arensky.
