Pacific Chorale is pleased to bring you Moira Smiley's Wayfaring Stranger.

Wayfaring Stranger is the first installment of Pacific Chorale’s Summer 2021 virtual concert. Centering around Bach’s motet Jesu, meine Freude, The Wayfaring Project takes us on a journey that acknowledges and honors the profound dislocation and uncertainty most of us have faced during the past year, while looking ahead to the future with hope and assurance.

Created in collaboration with Emmy Award-winning director and cinematographer Jeff Dolen, The Wayfaring Project features Pacific Chorale, members of Pacific Symphony, and soloists performing the music of J.S. Bach, Samuel Barber, Thomas A. Dorsey, Tarik O’Regan, Dolly Parton, and Moira Smiley. The complete concert will receive its world premiere screening on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in August 2021, and will thereafter be available online to audiences worldwide. Ticket information for the Plaza screening is coming soon!
