As the seasons change from Summer to Fall, Santa Barbara Revels notes this transition with its annual EQUINOX CONCERT on Tuesday, September 21st, beginning with a reception at 6:00pm on the Sola Patio at the University Club, 1919 Santa Barbara Street in downtown Santa Barbara. This al fresco evening draws its selections from three centuries of Spanish and Mexican music of the New World, in anticipation of this year’s production of The Christmas Revels: An Early California Celebration of the Winter Solstice, with performances on December 18th and 19th at the Lobero Theatre.
For Equinox, Erin McKibben, Revels Music Director, features her own talents, both vocally and on flute, and brings together a diverse ensemble of special musical artists, including Kristine Pacheco-Bernt on violin, Kathryn Mendenhall on cello, Rebekah Scogin on harp, Luis Moreno on guitar, and Josh Jenkins on guitar and vocals. Musical selections will include La Paloma, El Vito (with audience participation) and Manual de Zumaya’s Cantata from the Mexican Baroque period. At 6:30pm, Luis Moreno, a noted specialist in the music of Early California, will lead a discussion on the background and development of this material. The concert begins at 7:00pm.
Convenient parking is available in the University Club lot, and the Sola Patio is fully accessible.
Tickets for the reception, discussion and concert are $30 in advance and $35 at the concert. They are available at: m.bpt.me/event/5206796, as well as at the door.
