Women\u2019s chamber chorus Sorelle San Diego will present Folk Tales, a fall concert on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. at San Dieguito United Methodist Church, 170 Calle Magdalena, Encinitas.<\/p>\n
Directed by Michelle Risling and accompanied by Anna Juliar, Sorelle will perform compelling choral works that examine the Maiden, Mother and Crone, each symbolizing a distinct stage of women\u2019s lives across cultures, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
Sorelle\u2019s concert features Sarah Quartel\u2019s She Sang the Stars, where five movements tell stories inspired by three women figures from the Finnish epic poem, The Kalevala.<\/p>\n
Characters include the Water-Mother, who descends from sky to sea carrying her child for centuries before giving birth, and Lempi, embodying different forms to search for her lost son. The piece culminates in Song of the Stars, which honors the presence of the stars as all-knowing, eternal elements.<\/p>\n
Exploring Mexico\u2019s most celebrated ghost stories, Three Mexican Folk Songs, by David Conte, highlight haunting archetypes such as La Bruja and La Llorona. The concert also includes The Ballad of the Witches\u2019 Road, by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, associated with the Marvel Studios Disney+ television miniseries Agatha All Along.<\/p>\n
North Coast Singers\u2019 Capella high school ensemble will join Sorelle for part of She Sang the Stars as well as perform their own programming based on European folk and mythological traditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cSong selections uncover feminine archetypes in folklore. These include The Maiden, representative of youthful joy; The Witch, a powerful, feared and magical figure; and The Crone, often a source of knowledge and spiritual understanding,\u201d described Michelle Risling, conductor, in the news release. \u201cOur repertoire explores cultural identities through generations, providing insights into the phases of women\u2019s lives and societal beliefs across cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n
