Music in the Spirit of Adventure
Trekking along the entire John Muir Trail, you open your eyes as if for the first time, and you never see the same again.
Sailing off to Tahiti, you know wind and water, stars and earth, in ways you could never know them otherwise, and they become you.
Jumping from an airplane, you see the whole world in one spectacular glimpse, and you never, ever forget.
Curling up with a long-awaited novel, you are drawn into a world that exists nowhere else, and you forever see your own world anew.
Sparking a new romance-or deepening a seasoned love-you share things in a way that makes you a new person, and you never want to return to who you were before.
Every concert is an adventure—an inward journey that is your own and yet is shared with the musicians and the other listeners. And though to the outside eye, it may look as if you are just sitting there, no one but you knows the heartbreak, the exhilaration, the devastation, the joy you are experiencing with every breath of music.
This season's adventures embrace, again, the blurring of boundaries between jazz, film music, opera, and traditional chamber music; balancing the anguish of war with a commitment to life; pieces which seem to come out of the blue, others equally bold in using traditional forms; fairy tales right next to stories from modern Europe and America; the soulfulness and joy that are baroque music sharing the stage with modern words.
Listening to great music, you open your heart...
And so Pacific Serenades invites you on an adventure from which you may never want to return.
