Violinist

From pleasing to provocative, intellectual to insouciant, this program sheds light on the many facets of 20th-century Mexican and Argentinian classical compositions. Feel the passion and intensity of the tango in Piazzola’s renowned “Seasons”, juxtaposed with the exhilarating and profound string quartet “Música de Feria” by Revueltas. The program also features the graceful compositions of Manuel Ponce, offering a glimpse into the elegant charm of his musical creations. Works by 20th-century composers Alberto Ginastera (Argentina) and Mario Lavista (Mexico) top off an exciting and varied program.

Fall Cabaret: Pierrot Lunaire

Berkeley Hillside Club

Noe Valley Ministry

The last works of Luigi Nono and Franz Schubert, performed back to back, reveal a sense of deep beauty, profound unease, and a sensitivity to the close connection between happiness and sorrow on the threshold of life and death.

Schubert Quintet: Hay que caminar

First Church of Christ Scientist

A lost highway, witches, folk songs… Volti joins Left Coast for an eclectic, beautiful, and sometimes unsettling sonic journey. New works from LJ White and Todd Kitchen, exploring instability and dreams, contrast with the humor of Laurie San Martin’s Witches and Benjamin Britten’s tender folk song arrangements.
