Broadway comes to Fallbrook

FALLBROOK – Fresh from its extended schedule with the La Jolla Playhouse’s stunning Hunchback of Notre Dame, Sacra/Profana comes to Fallbrook for a concert featuring some of Broadway’s most popular show music. Presented by Fallbrook Music Society, the concert is on Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m. at the Bob Burton Center for Performing Arts.

Entitled “Simply Bold!” the vocal (with orchestra) program features hits from Rent, Godspell, Hairspray, Annie Get Your Gun and more. “We are delighted to be hosting such highly sought-after musicians, especially on the heels of their month-long sold-out appearance with La Jolla Playhouse! We went out of our way to secure Sacra/Profana because the energy and passion they bring is wonderful – and a program like this really helps us expand our audience and reach new members,” said Ann Murray, Fallbrook Music Society executive director.

Led by New York native Krishan Oberoi, Sacra/Profana has gained an impressive following over the past year behind this visionary conductor whose passion for unique programming is bolstered by a firm grounding in musical tradition. Oberoi attended the Yale School of Music, earning his master’s degree in conducting in 2006.

In 2009, Oberoi founded Sacra/Profana, a professional choral ensemble that has quickly risen to become one of the hottest arts organizations in the San Diego region, known for its startling depth and creativity.

Said Oberoi, “We are really happy to be coming to Fallbrook! The community here is so genuinely appreciative, and we love the acoustics for vocal and orchestra at Bob Burton! Few facilities are so complimentary to both artistic forms at the same time!”

The Sunday, March 8 performance is 3 p.m. at the Bob Burton Performing Arts Center, 2400 Stagecoach Lane. Tickets are $38 and are on sale at FallbrookMusicSociety.org. Ticket discounts are available to children, students, military and several non-profit organizations in town. Call Fallbrook Music Society for details (760) 451-8644.
