Resounding Achord is pleased to join Nova Vista Symphony and guest artists Vivace Youth Chorus to present Befana: a Christmas Fable by Kirke Mechem. This beautiful concert opera for orchestra, adult choir, youth chorus, and soloists tells the tale of an old Italian woman, who through her own personal sadness, misses the opportunity to visit the newborn Christ Child along with the Magi and Shepherds. When she realizes her mistake, she gathers gifts for the baby, but her searches are in vain. Even today she still visits children with gifts on the eve of Epiphany, honoring the holy child in all of them.

The concert also features works by Fauré, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Tchaikovsky, and a stunning finale with a newly-orchestrated version of David Maddux’s “Christmas Goes Classical.”

Resounding Achord is honored and overjoyed to have been selected to perform at the 2024 ACDA Western Region Conference in Pasadena!

Our program, titled, “Living the Dream,” takes the audience through the life journey of a living soul. Their birth is celebrated, and they start out with youthful exuberance and joy. As they grow into adolescence and adulthood, they long for the simplicity of youth, when comfort was as simple as the touch of their mother’s hand. In adulthood, they struggle to find belonging, feeling like a wanderer, a stranger in their own community, but they cling to the dream of home. They soon learn that home can mean many things, but above all, it is a place where they can love and be loved. The final piece celebrates that realization and challenges the singers and audience members to do their utmost to take care of one other because “we belong to each other.” (Ffe Mwe, Mwe Ffe, Joan Szymko)

For our local audiences, we are excited to join with Ragazzi Boys Chorus, also selected to perform at the conference, for a special send-off concert on March 3 in Portola Valley. Don’t miss your opportunity to see this very special program!

Location: Valley Presbyterian Church, 945 Portola Rd, Portola Valley, CA 94028
