4:00pm, Sunday, February 2, 2025 (Noe Valley Ministry, San Francisco)

The last works of Luigi Nono and Franz Schubert, performed back to back, reveal a sense of deep beauty, profound unease, and a sensitivity to the close connection between happiness and sorrow on the threshold of life and death.

ECHO CONTEST…NEARLY (Free Concert)

11:30am, Saturday, January 25, 2025 (First Church of Christ, Scientist, Berkeley)

Left Coast will join with community members to create two improvisatory works which explore the spatial dimension of music within Maybeck’s innovative architecture.

ON THE THRESHOLD OF DREAMLAND

7:30pm, Saturday, January 25, 2025 (First Church of Christ, Scientist, Berkeley)
7:30pm, Saturday, February 1, 2025 (Noe Valley Ministry, San Francisco)

A lost highway, witches, folk songs… Volti joins Left Coast for an eclectic, beautiful, and sometimes unsettling sonic journey. New works from LJ White and Todd Kitchen, exploring instability and dreams, contrast with the humor of Laurie San Martin’s Witches and Benjamin Britten’s tender folk song arrangements.

A DARK MATTER

11:30am, Saturday, February 1, 2025 (Noe Valley Ministry, San Francisco)

7:30pm, Friday, January 31, 2025 (Noe Valley Ministry, San Francisco)

In Schubert’s last song cycle, the wanderer and his landscape become one in this journey into the depths of the human soul. Emotions from tenderness to despair come together in a cathartic winter journey.
