Conductor Barbara Day Turner and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra combine forces with the Choral Project, under the direction of Daniel Hughes, for this annual winter concert that explores the music of faiths and traditions from around the world. Among the goodies are the Basque carol Gabriel’s Message, Jaco Wong’s Behold the Everlasting and the closing piece, the majestic Song of the Universal, in which composer Ola Gjeilo works from lyrics by Walt Whitman. A Sunday performance will be held in at 7pm at Mission Santa Clara.
