Composer-In-ResidenceThe Choral Artists are committed to fine choral music of all periods and cultures. We have a special commitment to fostering the choral tradition through the support of living composers -- both those with recognized, published works and new, emerging choral talent. Our Composer-In-Residence Program is a way to recognize and encourage choral composers. The goal of our Composer-In-Residence program is to increase the visibility and support of the many talented and prolific choral composers living in the San Francisco Bay Area whose works we have performed -- to the delight of our audiences -- since the inception of the Choral Artists. 2009 Composer-in-Residence, Ted AllenAward-winning Oakland resident Ted Allen is our Composer-in-Residence this season. He will write a new work for each of this season’s programs. Ted Allen spent his Southern California youth enthusiastically participating in choirs, marching bands and rock groups. Many of his vocal compositions such as Western Meadowlark and Coyote Song/¡Ay Susanita! reflect his California upbringing in their invocation of western musical traditions and history. [more] |
