2023-24 season recap!

It took us a while to come back from the quarantimes, but what a comeback!

Citywater’s presence at the Festival of New American Music in the fall was huge! We performed at the Opening Gala concert, featuring a work written for us by Josiah Catalan, and the Student Composers Competition, premiering works by Sac State students. We shared a concert with members of Kaleidoscope, coming together to perform Steve Reich’s Double Sextet. On the closing concert, we performed keynote composer David T. Little’s piece Ghostlight, which included some sounds never before heard from our group, including an e-bow on the piano strings and magnets being thrown into a metal tube!

Citywater was also honored to perform on the 1000th Music at Noon concert at Westminster Presbyterian Church on May 15th! Our very own Jennifer Reason was the star of the show and brought together her favorite collaborators to help celebrate the event. That concert is still available to be viewed on the Music at Noon You Tube page HERE.

Thanks to the generosity of friends and supporters, Citywater performed our first house concert! What a fun event that was! Hosted by Graham Sobelman and Brandon Pace, who graciously opened their home, we celebrated our Big Day of Giving donors and introduced ourselves to a whole group of soon-to-be die hard Citywater fans. Delicious food, wine, and scintillating company made created a stellar stage for our short concert. Here’s a short clip from the evening, courtesy of Graham:

We are already planning a program for the fall, another house concert in January, and more in the spring! Plans for another commissioning project are already in the works as well.

As details on all of these plans come together, we’ll keep you posted! Be sure to follow us on facebook and instagram for the most up to date information.

And thanks for being a fan!
