Pre-concert lecture at 7pm by KUSC's Brian Lauritzen and Artistic Director Caroline Shaw.

The Festival’s opening concert features Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, joined by musical friends Salastina, members from Pacific Chorale, and a dancer from Laguna Dance. Shaw will showcase her genre-blending works, from lush choral pieces to innovative chamber music. Don’t miss this stunning evening of music and artistry.

Caroline Shaw is a musician who moves roles, genres, and mediums, trying to imagine a world of sound that has never been heard before but has always existed. She works often in collaboration with others, as producer, composer, violinist, and vocalist, which won her the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Music and three Grammy Awards. Caroline has written over 100 works in the last decade including for Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming, and Dawn Upshaw, and has contributed to films and podcasts such as Beyonce’s Homecoming, Tár, and Dolly Parton’s America, among others.
