“Always on Christmas night there was music.”
— Dylan Thomas: A Child’s Christmas in Wales
Sacred and Profane recreates the BBC Radio 1944 Christmas Eve Broadcast, including poetry read by Esther Mulligan. Featuring poems by Cecil Day-Lewis, Edith Sitwell, and W. H. Auden, and music by Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett, Herbert Howells, and others. This exciting concert will also include the US premiere of Karin Rehnqvist’s When I close my eyes, I dream of peace and the world premiere of a work commissioned from our own James Tecuatl-Lee, with support from our donors and the East Bay Fund for Artists at the East Bay Community Foundation.
