La Jolla Music Society

Join us on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at 7:30 PM for an extraordinary evening with the La Jolla Music Society at The Baker-Baum Concert Hall. The event, titled "Danse Macabre," promises a night filled with haunting melodies, mystical dance, and an unforgettable tapestry of music that bridges the ethereal with the deeply moving.

The program features a diverse range of compositions, starting with Ysaÿe's Violin Sonata No. 2 in A Minor "Obsession," performed by the virtuoso Augustin Hadelich. Experience the intense narratives of Ravel's works and the whimsical charm of Martin Butler's Roald Dahl-inspired "Dirty Beasts," with a cast of talented musicians including Inon Barnatan (piano), Rose Lombardo (flute/piccolo), and many more.

A highlight of the evening will be the US Premiere of Thomas Adès' "Catch," showcasing the talents of Mark Simpson (clarinet), Alexi Kenney (violin), Jay Campbell (cello), and Thomas Adès himself on piano. The program also includes Saint-Saëns' iconic "Danse Macabre for Violin and Piano, Op. 40," bringing to life the playful yet haunting themes of the night.

The evening culminates with Schubert's profound "String Quartet in D Minor, D. 810 Death and the Maiden," performed by an ensemble of exceptional musicians including Andrew Wan and Tessa Lark on violins, Teng Li on viola, and Jonathan Swensen on cello.

Don't miss this mesmerizing journey through music that oscillates between the playful and the profound, making "Danse Macabre" a night to remember.
