SF Classical Voice Audience Choice Award Winners Announced!

Pamela Madsen’s Oratorio for the Earth was just voted Best Orchestra Performance in SF Classical Voice’s Audience Choice Awards!!

This was HEX vocal ensemble’s collaboration with the Cal State Fullerton Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir, under the direction of Kimo Furumoto and Robert Istad. We had an absolute blast putting this piece together, which is at times minimalist, at times metal, and suffused with a curious tension throughout.

There’s a virtuosic bass solo in movement VI: Now The Hour Bows Down, sung almost entirely on “ah” and “mm”. I’m not often asked to scream on a tenor’s high C, but clearly it was a crowd-pleaser. Check out the performance here on Vimeo.
