Singer

Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann presents one of the great masterpieces of all time: J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion—a sacred oratorio composed for Good Friday, 1727. The St. Matthew Passion has been a hallmark of Maestro Stutzmann’s career, first as a celebrated contralto and now as a conductor. This week she joins the world-renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in welcoming an international lineup of vocal soloists and the Spivey Hall Children’s Choir for what promises to be a season highlight.

Atlanta Symphony Hall

Salons were the cultural and intellectual hub of Paris; open forums for the city’s most creative minds to engage in thought-provoking and often subversive conversations. These events, along with the famed Masquerade balls, were rife with stirring and seductive new ideas, art, literature, and music. The pieces on this program emerged from these glamorous salons and range from the charming piano duo by Debussy and Sarasate’s devilishly virtuosic Carmen Fantasy to Ravel and Caplet’s decadent and macabre evocations of Edgar Allan Poe’s story The Masque of the Red Death.

Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center

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.”
