Listening to the Future 10th Annual Concert!
THIS Saturday, June 20 at 5:00pm
Our annual young composers concert returns for its 10th year! This year’s program features original choral works by both local high school composers and collegiate composers from across the nation. In partnership with The Collegiate Choral Composition Community (The CCCC), the Pasadena Chorale expands Listening to the Future for the first time to showcase emerging collegiate voices alongside the program’s young local composers. The result is an inspiring evening celebrating creativity, mentorship, and the future of choral music.
