These Californians sweep us away in an open-air groove across western vistas to moments when the sun is farthest from the equator musing on mountainous Tibet. Then concentric circles of stomping Shakers merge with time-space. LA Weekly called Jacaranda’s conductor-free performance of Shaker Loops “whiz-bang…daredevil.”

More of these composers’ inspiring music can be heard at Walt Disney Concert Hall from November 27 to December 8.
