Bolero Blowout

June 9, 2023

“Why be a second-rate Ravel when you can be a first-rate Gershwin?”  Thus said the great French composer when the great American song writer asked him for lessons.  Gershwin’s jazzy tone poem about the City of Lights pairs wonderfully with Ravel’s Boléro, a provocation inspired by the rhythms of the  fandango and the factory.  Between these two popular pieces, we welcome back the incredible Joyce Yang to perform Samuel Barber’s titanic Piano Concerto. This cinematic and passionate work is a true American masterpiece. Subscriptions and single tickets on sale now! …

Rei Hotoda brings her signature interpretive energy to Brahms’ Symphony No. 3, whose gorgeous Third Movement has been featured in multiple films and was recorded by the Ramsay Lewis Trio as You’ll Love Me Yet.

Mahler Here & Now

June 9, 2023

Music of Heaven and Earth. Music Director Rei Hotoda’s exploration of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler continues with his Fourth Symphony.  This delightful evocation of childhood innocence was strongly influenced by Schubertian lyricism and German folk poetry. It culminates in a song for soprano describing a child’s view of Heaven.  The devastation of nature from California’s recent spate of wildfires is the subject of Gabriela Lena Frank’s moving 2021 work Contested Eden. Subscriptions and single tickets on sale now! …
