The Bay Area Russian choral ensemble more than doubles in size for weekend performances of the timeless masterpiece.

The 2015 edition of the Merola Opera Program’s Grand Finale provided all the drama and entertainment of a reality TV competition.

St. Ignatius Church, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay on Lone Mountain, was the perfect spot for the San Francisco Choral Society’s performance of the Mozart Requiem.

Pieces by Missy Mazzoli and Nico Muhly were the only standouts in a program of music that lacked ambition and scale.

Marais’ opera get its long overdue U.S. premiere thanks to American Bach Soloists.

It’s hard to pick winners from a crowded field of excellent new music, well-performed by the festival orchestra under Marin Alsop.

You’d be forgiven if you haven’t heard of Rebel and Aubert, but ABS’ performance highlighted the inventiveness of their lesser-known works.

American Bach Soloists completed its second evening devoted to “Versailles & The Parisian Baroque” at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a bit of drama.

Merola does it again with the excellent Don Pasquale, but the production deserved more than just two performances.

Performing works inspired by Schubert’s example brought needed variety to Music@Menlo.
