Cabrillo Festival's 50th anniversary season opens with the world premiere of Hidden World of Girls: Stories for Orchestra, an evening-length work based on stories developed by Peabody Award-winning radio producers The Kitchen Sisters (a.k.a. Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson) for their series on NPR’s Morning Edition and All Things Considered. This groundbreaking new work uses the power of the symphonic form and contemporary multimedia to explore the diverse lives of girls and the women they become—stories of coming of age, rituals and rites of passage, secret identities—women who crossed a line, blazed a trail, changed the tide. Women and girls' stories and secrets emerge from the dunes of the Sahara, the prisons of Louisiana, a racetrack in Ramallah, a reservation in South Dakota, a horse fair in Cork, a slumber party in New York City, the planet Venus, and beyond. Four remarkably talented women composers add their own distinctive voices and personal interpretations to these stirring and culturally diverse stories.
