Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale" is a captivating chamber music piece that tells the story of a soldier who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for unlimited wealth and knowledge. Time weaves its tapestry, as the soldier's violin weeps in longing, battling against the siren call of temptation. Composed during Stravinsky's transitional period, it showcases his innovative use of rhythm, harmonies, and instrumentation. Stravinsky’s presence in Los Angeles greatly influenced the local music scene, inspiring a new generation of composers and performers and contributing to the cultural richness of the city.

“Never had his own music made such an impression on him!” When Beethoven composed his String Quartet No. 13, he was “truly in the tears of melancholy.” Sadness is a feeling that hits everyone at one point or another. Beethoven’s piece, equally emotional and visionary, breaks away from traditional forms while holding tight to sentiments that resonate universally.

Flutist and composer André Jolivet was the kind of musician who strictly avoided conformity and advocated for music that makes us feel “human.” Pairing the flute with a quartet of percussionists, he aimed to highlight the instruments closest to the “primal” senses and origin of music in his 1965 suite.
