Details:
Founded in 1980 by Artistic Director Richard Grant, the Pacific Mozart Ensemble (PME) delivers passionate, expert and engaging choral performances of music from Brahms to Brubeck to the Beach Boys. During its time, PME has grown to fill an important role in the cultural life of the San Francisco Bay Area, presenting courageous and innovative programs of many works that have never been performed in concert settings. In 2005, the groupâs 25th anniversary season, PME named Dr. Lynne Morrow as the groupâs Music Director.

PME is perhaps best known for its collaborations with contemporary composers and artists, including John Adams, Dave Brubeck, David Lang, Meredith Monk, The American Bach Soloists, Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, The Oakland East Bay Symphony, and many others. PME was nominated for a âBest Choral Performanceâ Grammy® Award in 2006 for the Harmonia Mundi recording of Bernsteinâs Mass with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester under the direction of Kent Nagano.

PME made its Carnegie Hall debut in November 2005, representing choral music for Meredith Monkâs 40th Anniversary Celebration; selections of those performances were broadcast on WNYC radio. In 2006, members of PME appeared in local concerts by âindieâ rocker Sufjan Stevens and avant garde composer and musician John Zorn.

PME was a featured performer at the 2007 Green Center Festival at Sonoma State University, presenting its multimedia concert program âA Story of Freedom: An Evening of Spirituals.â The ensemble has made three European tours and numerous recordings.
