As Socrates declared centuries ago, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
From the moment we as babies reached for a rattle or toy, we embarked on a life quest of understanding ourselves and the universe. Sallying forth from the safe circle of our mothers’ arms, we were fascinated by the natural world and its mysteries, eventually drawn beyond the circle of our planet to the shining stars and beyond.
Through a varied program of choral works by John Rutter, Eric Whitacre, Frank Ticheli, Randall Thompson et al, Pasadena Pro Musica traces this curious journey.
