Last year’s collaboration with the Alexander String Quartet confirmed San Francisco Choral Artists’ fine reputation for presenting new works for unusual combinations of voices and instruments. Continuing this compelling aspect of their programming, this year they feature world renowned Klezmer band Veretski Pass in lively and moving performances of folksongs, psalms, and lullabies from the texts and traditions of Jewish life. The concerts include two world premieres for the combined ensembles.
