Sacra/Profana
San Diego Children's Choir
Michael Gordon
Since their debut in February 2009, Sacra/Profana has rapidly been gaining a reputation as a vibrant new presence in American choral music. Described by San Diego City Beat as "genre-bending", the 24-voice ensemble has been widely celebrated in the local press for their boldness of vision. A KPBS feature on the group hailed them as "choral music for the iPod generation", and sandiego.com praised the choir's "adventurous repertory - both polished and daring". The San Diego Reader says: "San Diego is fortunate to have a group like Sacra/Profana bringing us new music that is of high quality."
