Encounter: Fellowship Artist Spotlight I

What creative genius’ work has permeated the culture and had more influence than that of the Bard himself? Join us for this intermission-free Wednesday evening event as we enjoy music from Shakespeare’s time and hear some of his most famous words composed into song. Following Korngold’s popular incidental music for the comedy Much Ado About Nothing, composed in 1920, we conclude with Beethoven’s “Ghost” Piano Trio, which came out of sketches for an opera based on Macbeth that he never completed. Stay after the concert for a special event in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd to enjoy more music and a feast featuring the best of San Diego’s culinary and craft cocktail scene!

Join us for the musical prelude with Pelia Quartet for a performance of Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat Major, Op. 74 “Harp.”

Under the Influence: Shakespeare's World

The Baroque period contains riches that inspired composers above any other. We begin with J.S Bach’s immortal concerto for two violins, and continue to explore some of the most captivating pieces of his era and beyond, with C.P.E. Bach’s (his son) Cello Concerto, Biber’s brilliant and irreverent Battalia, a commentary on the Thirty Year War that engulfed Europe at the time, and Grosso Mogul, Vivaldi’s fiery and dazzling concerto.

Beyond Bach

Interdependent yet independent, these selections explore the musical concept of counterpoint—the relationship between two or more musical lines or voices, used by composers spanning the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century. The evening includes the world première of a multimedia version of Steve Reich’s New York Counterpoint, commissioned by La Jolla Music Society for SummerFest, the Synergy Initiative, and Lincoln Center, which will feature clarinetists from all of the Lincoln Center performing ensembles.
