The GRAMMY-award winning San Francisco Girls Chorus, conducted by Valérie Sainte-Agathe, makes its Hawai'i debut.
Featuring a varied program highlighting the Chorus’ stunning treble voices. The program will feature excerpts from SFGC's new choral-opera, Tomorrow’s Memories: A Little Manila Diary, a SFGC-commission from American composer Matthew Welch based on the 1924-1928 diary writings of Filipina immigrant Angeles Monrayo that highlights the importance of the Filipino diaspora’s cultural impact throughout the United States, including Hawai'i.
The program also includes a selection of Filipino folk songs, as well as two additional SFGC commissioned works, the vibrant Rimas tropicales by Cuban-American composer Tania Léon, and Pen Pal, by the groundbreaking new music composer, Pamela Z.
