Benjamin Britten ⟡ Suite No. 3 for Solo Cello

Clara Schumann ⟡ 3 Romances, op. 22
Nikolai Kapustin ⟡ Nearly Waltz, op. 98
Ludwig van Beethoven ⟡ Sonata for Cello and Piano in A Major, op. 69

Today we enjoy a wide artistic spectrum - the mood of this program changes from wistful longing to mischief to ultimate triumph, with even more stops along the way. See if you can track the evolving relationship between piano and cello sounds as crafted by Clara Schumann, Nikolai Kapustin, and Ludwig van Beethoven. Are the two voices meant to be unified or individual?

ARTZenter Institute is a newly-established grant program in partnership with the SF Contemporary Players, encouraging the creation of new music that explores the power and grace of the traditional orchestral ensemble. The fund was created by Tony Magee, founder of The Lagunitas Brewing Company of Petaluma, CA, and is committed to creating chamber orchestra workshops, mentorship and performance opportunities for young composers nationwide. The Emerging Composer Completion Grant Program has the potential to evolve into one of the nation’s largest and most ambitious vehicles in support of new work, with multiple calls-for-scores being announced annually.

FREE ADMISSION - no tickets or reservations required.

Featuring the winning composers from ARTZenter’s third round of completion grants from June 2024, we present a public reading and lab session of six newly completed works for chamber orchestra, as the kick-off event in this exciting new program’s second year.

• Laura Cetilia - Unless (2024)

• Sofia Ouyang - Burst (2024)

• Luca Robadey - Stained Glass (2024)

This program covers a lot of geographical areas and time periods, but the C string ties it all together! If that doesn't make sense yet, just imagine how the lowest string on both the viola and the cello would define each instrument's range, giving this duo a uniquely rich sound. We'll tell you more about it at the show.

The Fire and Music Project tour: a series of six concerts across North State California. The concert experience will feature live music, poetry, and videography accompanying stories of fire ecology, indigenous land management practices, and history of California's relationship with fire suppression and prescribed fire. The program features a group of artists who have begun their transformation into fire practitioners. Their stories and performances will create an immersive experience that invites audiences to examine their own relationship with fire.

Artists

Ariana Kim, violin ⟡ Ellen McGehee, violin

Christina Simpson, viola ⟡ James Jaffe, cello

Ian Scarfe, piano + harmonium ⟡ Julie Zhu, composer

Silvi Alcivar, poet ⟡ Rob Wadleigh, videography

Program

Every performance will be unique with music to be chosen from: Ludwig van Beethoven, Hildegard von Bingen, Danny Clay, Antonín Dvořák, Missy Mazzoli, Franz Schubert, and Julie Zhu. Zhu's work Solastalgia, a place-based piece written for the project, centers listening and stewardship in the music as inspired by the group’s work with indigenous fire practitioners. Poet Silvi Alcivar brings focus and connection to the experience, sharing work written on-the-spot at prescribed burns and interacting with the audience. Live projections of video and imagery will show the artists returning prescribed fire to Northern California's landscapes, creating an immersive atmosphere.

This activity is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency, through the Upstate California Creative Corps program.
