Old and New – PFC Celebrates 25 Years of Singing
To mark our 25th season, we’ve paired the exuberant 1749 Magnificat of C. P. E. Bach (an “old” work) with Elaine Hagenberg’s sublime Illuminare, composed in 2022 and so very much a “new” work. The Bach speaks of joy and celebration. The Hagenberg explores light in the sense of beauty, goodness, and hope. Together, these pieces represent what PFC has been able to undertake: old works and new ones, with traditional texts and unexpectedly introspective ones, looking forward to a bright future even as we look back at a rich past.
