On Saturday, November 11 at 7:30 and Sunday, November 12 at 3 p.m., the Santa Barbara Master Chorale will present a concert featuring Gabriel Faure’s Requiem and John Rutter’s Gloria.

Faure’s Requiem in D Minor is the best known of his large works. Its focus is on eternal rest and consolation. He said of his work “Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.”

First performed in 1974, Rutter’s Gloria is based on one of the Gregorian chants associated with the Latin text drawn from the Ordinary of the Mass. The division of the work into three movements – proclamatory, prayerful, and joyfully affirmative – corresponds to the divisions in the text.

The concert will be led by our artistic director and conductor, David Lozano Torres. Mr. Torres is currently conductor of the UCSB Lumina Choir, assistant conductor of the UCSB Chamber Choir, and artistic director and conductor of the elite choral ensemble Vocal Infinity. He is presently completing his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Choral Conducting at UCSB.

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum presents “All The Life We Cannot See: Marine Microbes and the Health of our Oceans” on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. UC Santa Barbara Professor Alyson Santoro, PhD will discuss the general role of microbes in the ocean, which cycle nitrogen throughout the deep ocean, and the impact and important role the microbes have on the Earth’s climate. Marine microbes are single-celled organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye. They are the most abundant living things in the ocean, where they keep the water and the entire planet habitable for animals—and people. As recently as the 1950s, people believed that the deep ocean was practically devoid of microbial life.

The lecture series is sponsored by Marie L. Morrisroe.
