This month, not one but two wonderful performances are taking place at Sonoma State University. And together they tell a story -- one that moves from darkness to light, from chaos to harmony. A story told through music.

This is a choral concert that walks you through war, then gently lifts you into peace. An emotional performance crafted by SSU’s Concert Choir and SonoVoce, featuring Prayer for Peace—a beautiful composition by Dr. Brian S. Wilson.
As Director Jenny Bent puts it:
“Through the expressive power of choral music, we navigate themes of struggle and hope, ultimately emerging into the light.”

Then it’s time.
The SSU Symphony Orchestra, under Dr. Alexander Kahn, takes the stage with Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, “Titan”—joined by members of the SRJC Orchestra in a breathtaking collaboration.
