Our spring program is a multicultural celebration of community, music and love for all. Ash’s inspiration for the program comes from William Blake’s famous poem of social and religious protest from 1794, Garden of Love, which you can read in its entirety on our blog here.

The music is wide-ranging, with works from the PEV archive of all eras. The program includes  Elgar’s Lux Aeterna, Monk’s Panda Chant, Dahlgren’s God’s Great Dust Storm, Dylan Tran’s If Music Be the Food of Love - plus our first live performance of Vienna Teng’s astonishing Hymn of Acxiom that we recorded during the lockdown. (Watch that video here.) Dynamic lighting and African-diaspora chants with drumming will have you - and us! - moving and moved. 

We’re excited to welcome special guests Soul Beatz, Oakland’s community drum circle, join us for this program.

This is the only performance of our full program, and space is limited at St. Mark’s, so grab your seats today!
