Messiahs: False and True is a meditation on how people throughout history have-- for better and for worse-- followed messianic leaders through cycles of longing, enraptured loyalty, and disillusionment. The piece comprises 10 movements, is approximately 40 minutes long, and will be presented in its entirety without intermission. IOCSF's collaborators for this production will include organist Christopher Keady, percussionist James Nickell, and narrator Brian Vanderpol.

Messiahs: False and True San Francisco concert

Saint-Saëns’s mighty Organ Symphony, Anna Clyne’s colorful celebratory score, and Beethoven’s immortal violin concerto – not to be missed!
Due to pandemic-related travel complications, Vadim Gluzman has had to withdraw from this weekend’s performances of the Beethoven Violin Concerto. We are delighted to announce that the brilliant young violinist Simone Porter has agreed to step in on short notice to make her Marin Symphony debut. Music Director Alasdair Neale said: “While I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to collaborate with my dear friend Vadim Gluzman as planned, I’m immensely grateful to Simone Porter for saving the day for us all. I first heard her a few years ago and had been eagerly awaiting the chance to work together, and I’m thrilled that this opportunity has presented itself.”
