Two extraordinary works. One unforgettable evening. First, Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, a dazzling, joyful showpiece featuring the same melody that eventually became the iconic “Ode to Joy” from the 9th Symphony. Our own Grace Chung takes the piano. We have never performed anything like this at All Saints — prepare to be swept away! Then, Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant Us Peace”) — a searingly beautiful cantata written as the world was tumbling toward World War II. Its longing for peace feels as urgent today as ever. The concert moves from celebration to reflection: from pure joy to a prayer the whole world needs right now. You won’t want to miss it.

Wild Up presents The Odes, an evening that traces a living lineage of experimentation—from the Baroque’s theatrical excess to modernist innovation and contemporary music’s daring invention. The program unfolds as a conversation across centuries, where the oldest music feels the most new, and the newest pieces make tradition strange again.
The Odes features works by French Baroque visionary Jean-Féry Rebel, English dramatist Henry Purcell, and Soviet modern polystylist Alfred Schnittke, heard alongside living composers. Accompanied by students from The Herb Alpert School of Music at CalArts and special guests, these works reveal how revolution, crisis, grief, and ecstasy recur as enduring forces across time—each articulated through music that carries the friction and urgency of its era.
Crafted as an homage to music itself, Wild Up’s evening contextualizes sound as a continuum, drawing new attention to how each composition both redefines what came before and creates space for what comes next.
