Maestro Paul Flight leads Schola Cantorum SF and friends in a program of stunning, rarely performed choral music by Milhaud and his contemporaries, with Mills College Professor of Music, Nalini Ghuman, pianist. This event is presented as a part of the 2025-26 Distinguished Professor Performance Series, featuring Dr. Ghuman, Darius Milhaud Music Chair.

The concert will feature music by Darius Milhaud, Maurice Ravel, Lili Boulanger, Francis Poulenc, and Henk Badings.

A reception will follow the concert.

The Darius Milhaud Concert is funded by the Mills College Class of 1945 Darius Milhaud Performance Endowment. Established in 1995 by the Mills College Class of 1945 at its 50th Reunion, the endowment has supported annual concerts featuring the music of Darius Milhaud. The Class of 1945 was among the first to graduate during Milhaud’s tenure at Mills. Their vision and generosity is a fitting tribute to his inspirational teaching and artistry, ensuring that Milhaud’s music will continue to exert a strong influence in the years to come.
