Don’t miss this opportunity to re-live the exciting premiere of Resurrection of the Titan this Sunday, September 17 at 6pm (Pacific Time)

Cabrillo Festival, in association with Mahler Foundation, commissioned the World premiere of Xavier Foley’s Resurrection of Titan, which features the composer on double bass and the acclaimed violinist (and his oft times collaborator) Eunice Kim.

We invite you to tune into Sarah Cahill’s Revolutions Per Minute on KALW.org (91.7FM in the SF Bay). Cabrillo Festival Executive Director, Ellen Primack, will join Sarah on this special broadcast!

The premiere performance of this wonderful work took place last August 13 in Santa Cruz, California to a sold-out Auditorium and critical acclaim from the audience!

Mahler Foundation is proud for having been part of this extraordinary event and acknowledges board members and friends whose generosity made Xavier Foley’s commission possible:

Leadership gifts from Bill & Pam Richter and Mark Kalow & Marlene Pitkow, as well as much appreciated support from Carol LeWitt, Mary Begtrup, Susan Wallis, Brigitte Janson, Ken Forestal, Stephen Sarper, Jerry Meyer, and anonymous (2).
