An outdoor, sunset concert to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, the “Prince of Music,” whose works defined the golden age of Renaissance polyphony. The evening also features a transformative reimagining of J.S. Bach’s Chaconne and a world premiere new work by award-winning west coast composer, Derrick Skye. Interwoven throughout the program are readings inspired by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the 17th-century Mexican poet and nun. Conducted by OBF artistic partner, Craig Hella Johnson.
