For the third year in a row, Stanford Live showcases the wealth of cultural diversity in Silicon Valley. This year will feature the Peninsula Women’s Chorus, Chinese Performing Arts of America, and Tezkatlipoka Aztec Dance and Drum.
The Peninsula Women’s Chorus (PWC) is a Palo Alto-based, 50-voice women’s choir performing high-quality classical and contemporary music in the Bay Area and many parts of the world. Since its founding in 1966, the Peninsula Women’s Chorus has been committed to excellence in the performance of diverse and challenging choral literature for women’s voices, and is recognized as the premier vocal ensemble for women in the San Francisco Bay Area. The PWC has come to national and international attention through live performance and recordings and has added significantly to the choral literature by commissioning new music. The chorus inspires and enriches its audiences in the Bay Area through its concert series, its ongoing program of premiering new works, and its numerous collaborations with other performing groups.
Founded in 1991 as a 501(c)3 corporation, the mission of Chinese Performing Arts of America (CPAA) is to introduce Chinese culture as an integral part of the American society through the performing arts; to promote multiculturalism through collaborations with arts organizations from other communities; and to promote global cultural exchange through international cultural events.
Calmecac Tezkatlipoka Aztec Dance & Drum (Tezkatlipoka) is a traditional school of learning of Aztec dancing, drumming and culture and is a traditional Aztec dance circle based in San Jose. Tezkatlipoka is also well-known in Silicon Valley as a community based performing arts dance group that promotes an appreciation and understanding of pre Colombian art forms through traditional Aztec dance and music. Tezkatlipoka works towards integrating all dimensions of Meso American dance, music, and performance art while honoring the cultural traditions left behind by our ancestors. Tezkatlipoka has shown a deep commitment to the advancement of Aztec art forms by offering open weekly community classes and through delivering arts education for school and community-based cultural presentations and events. Through these cultural programs, Tezkatlipoka celebrates cultural diversity by exploring common links that bring and connect all people together in a celebration of movement, art, and life.
