Contemporary Insights: Music and Conversation

Sunday, January 24, 2010 4:30 pm
ODC Dance Commons, San Francisco

Each Contemporary Insights event focuses on a single piece from the following Monday’s concert. Composers and musicians talk about the piece, and the musicians demonstrate parts of it. After performing the work in its entirety, the musicians elicit reactions, answer questions, and talk with the audience.
The audience is invited to stay for wine and hors d’oeuvres afterwards.

Program:
Michael Jarrell …more leaves… for viola with clarinet, trumpet, trombone, piano, contrabass, and electronics.
Brad Lubman conducts.

Violist Nanci Severance shines in this subtly powerful concerto for viola, ensemble, and electronics by Swiss composer Michael Jarrell. The electronics in the piece are a resonant shadow in the background, augmenting the depth and richness of the instruments.
