In a concert curated by Left Coast guitarist Michael Goldberg, the timbral possibilities presented by an unusual collection of plucked instruments mandolin, harp, and guitar are combined with flute and voice. Stravinsky's delightfully off-kilter folk song settings and John Anthony Lennon's setting of text by James Joyce are complemented by a companion commission from the Bay Area composer Sam Nichols. Left Coast is delighted to welcome guest artists Ann Moss, Meredith Clark, and Travis Andrews, and guest composer Amadeus Regucera.
