Under guest conductor Doug Allen—SFBACC performs Bach's masterpiece for five-part chorus Jesu, Meine Freude; Samuel Barber's Reincarnations and other works; and rousing American folksongs and spirituals.
Critics Rave: The choir "flourishes in the incomparable sound of many voices unified in tone and spirit, blooming in the radiant phrases, soaring on warmth of feeling, perfectly tendered... In pitch, blend, range, balance and variety of sonority, this choral instrument is excellent."...Robert Commanday, SF Chronicle
"...the love and care that the choir lavished on pieces… created such warmth and good feeling that the essence of each work came through loud and clear... If there’s one thing this choir has down pat, it’s how to achieve a hallowed sound. Again and again, SFBACC created an ethereal, plangent sound…." Jason Victor Serinus, SF Classical Voice
