Journeys and Transformations

Tactus SF

A Renaissance choral concert of a cappella motets by Guerrero, Palestrina, de Wert, Rore, and others, with organ interludes, poetry readings, and new Renaissance style compositions by the members of the choir, followed by a wine reception. A fun afternoon event not to be missed!
Join us for our final concert with our founding director Tanmoy Laskar, as we take you on a journey through mountain roads by the soft light of the August moon to grassy shores dotted with fiery aspens in bloom. Come with us on our adventures by sea through calm and storm, past vociferous volcanoes and craggy castles, and explore bustling spice-laden markets and freshly-bloomed gardens. As our paths take some of us far abroad, join us in songs of deep longing and fond remembrance for those they leave behind; until such time as we return once more, for more adventures are yet in store!
Tactus ran a Poetry Contest that fits the theme of our concert. The winning poems win prize money and will be read during our concerts.
