Destiny Arts Center World Premiere of 'Asylum'
The internationally regarded model of youth arts and violence prevention organizations, Destiny Arts Center in Oakland, marks the beginning of its third decade as a creative community epicenter with the world premiere of "Asylum," a movement/theater work created by the young artists of the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company. Created in collaboration Artistic Directors Sarah Crowell and Rashidi Omari and acclaimed Bay Area performing arts professionals, the full-length work features hip-hop dance and music, theater, spoken word, modern dance, aerial dance, video backdrop art, rap and a cast of 40 talented youth ages 7 to 18. "Asylum" frames the current state of world affairs as a circus turned inside out, where heroes are questionable and villains run free. It is a powerful glimpse into how young Americans see the state of the world and what can be done about it. A special benefit performance to support the Raising the Roof Campaign is scheduled for Saturday, March 20, priced at $50 including performance ticket, reserved seating and post-performance dessert reception to meet the artists.
Artistic Director Sarah Crowell describes Asylum: "The lights come up on an old-fashioned circus ringleader in top hat and tails who welcomes the audience to a madhouse, where everything is flipped, and the asylum for do-gooders who have been caught doing good. It is a place where the heroes are all questionable and the villains run free, and where less money is spent on schools than on jails. The ringleader escorts the audience into a place where a group of unlikely superheroes are locked up with their powers taken away by a gaggle of sinister villains that you just might recognize. The piece is at once thought provoking and entertaining, a modern day superhero story with a twist."

SF Choral Artists: Forecast: Sunny With Song
"Choral masterpieces" can be great for lifting our spirits. This music often brings us a flood of memories of how choral music touched us when we first experienced it in college or high school. San Francisco Choral Artists' upcoming program, "Forecast: Sunny With Song," goes one better. Under Magen Solomon's direction, SFCA has assembled a distinctive repertory, combining masterpieces that are audience/singer all-time favorites with 5 World Premieres -- in performances Mar 14 in SF, Mar 19 in Palo Alto, Mar 20 in Marin, and Mar 21 in Oakland.
Bask in masterpieces of the unaccompanied repertoire as the Choral Artists sing some of our most beloved works: Debussy and Hindemith Chansons; Poulenc Motets; Britten Flower Songs; challenging pieces by Carter, Ives, and Webern; and Puerling's charming "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square." There are 5 World Premiere works predicted to be classics. Chuckle with us at a couple of the e.e. cummings' settings by Composer-In-Residence Brian Holmes (from twinkle toes to an old cowboy.) Despair at the tale of a would-be migrant traveling across the sea by New Zealand Composer-Not-In-Residence Christopher Marshall.
Why juxtapose masterpieces of the repertoire with new works? Artistic Director Magen Solomon explains that she avidly cultivates engagements with living composers to help bridge the gulf between composer, performer, and audience. "I feel that music needs to be live music," Solomon comments. "It's so easy to listen to flawless recordings, but having live singers in front of live audiences singing compelling music by living composers has always been a critical part of our group."
Come and experience your own special engagement with choral masterpieces -- old and new.
"...amongst the foremost unaccompanied singing groups... on this or any other coast." -- R. Dane Danubian, artssf.com
"The Choral Artists sang with fervor, discernment, and tonal beauty"
