Innovation and exploration await you for this very special performance.
Continuing PEBCC’s rich tradition of championing new voices and transformative commissioning experiences for young singers in the SF East Bay, the March 19th Making History Concert features new works by Bay Area native composers Jens Ibsen and Eric Tuan.
Choreography for Tuan’s and Reena Esmail’s pieces is provided by Kali Futnani, whose youth bharatanantyam dancers will be featured guest artists for the performance.
