The Choral Project
Daniel Hughes, Conductor
The Choral Project performs a program featuring the music of Eric Whitacre. Included are the enormously-popular “Cloudburst” and the “Five Hebrew Love Songs” performed with String Quartet.
Founded in 1996 by Artistic Director Daniel Hughes, The Choral Project has performed throughout Northern California in concert performances, interfaith services, and choral festivals, including a performance at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, as part of the California State Day Celebration Service. In June of 2001, The Choral Project received rave reviews and standing ovations at concert performances during their first international tour to Mexico and Costa Rica, which included highly acclaimed performances on Mexican National Radio, and a joint concert with the Café Chorale in Costa Rica. They have performed world premieres of compositions by numerous composers including Eric Whitacre.
"...demonstrates an impressive command of some very challenging works, both a cappella and accompanied by various combinations of percussion, piano, strings, and winds, written by contemporary composers who have a special affinity for voices and text-setting."
