The remote you misplaced, the tune you can’t quite remember, the life you may have lived. You never know what you might find at the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra’s Lost Things Found, 8pm, Saturday, June 25, at Old First Church, San Francisco — in musical items by John Beeman, Allan Crossman, Bernard Herrmann, Loren Jones, Sam Ostroff, Lisa Scola Prosek, William Severson, Martha Stoddard, and Davide Verotta.
Among the places where lost objects will be found are the Mt. Eytan Gabriel Caves, where Jones will guide two young pianists through beautiful and treacherous treasures, and perhaps even A Simple Trifle, as offered in a string trio by Severson. A cached Collage of Beeman (with soprano Maria Mikheyenko) will usher in will usher in the Twilight Zone of Bernard Herrmann’s score to Little Girl Lost, featuring viola d’amorist Roland Kato accompanied by quartets of flutes and harps, conducted by John Kendall Bailey.
Verotta will pianistically explore in Imaginations, while Stoddard leads other musical search parties in Ostroff’s earnest Before You Read, Scola Prosek’s intriguing Churchill in the Bath (showcasing tenor John Duykers), and her own diverting Windsong Variations. The final excursion of the evening will take listeners and vocalists searchingly across an ocean of the avant and traditional in Crossman’s sing-along Loch Lomond, conducted by Mark Alburger.
