| Creative Independent: Anenon |
|
|
In 2018, The Creative Independent and National Sawdust will work together to present new works from independent musicians, dancers, and other types of working artists. The shows will focus on process, collaboration, and the time and space needed to complete a creative project.
This show features “Tongue Versions,” a performance by Los Angeles based musician and composer Anenon featuring New York based artist Bryce Hackford. Based on his latest LP, “Tongue,” this live iteration will feature improvised music and sound alongside the original material of the album.

| Spring Revolution: L'Rain |
|
|
L’Rain is part of the Spring Revolution festival, National Sawdust’s annual two week festival celebrating the musical revolution created by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. Held from March 1st through March 11th, this year Spring Revolution celebrates the voice of women, with every night featuring female curators, artists and composers because the female perspective is the human perspective and the human perspective should be inclusive.
L’Rain, hailed by the New York Times as a “one-woman studio band” and by Tiny Mix Tapes as “the best moments of Stereolab or Frank Ocean’s ‘Endless,’” performs a set of spiritual music exploring the complexity of grief and the audacity of joy.
Lead by composer and multi-instrumentalist Taja Cheek, L’Rain puts on a special performance as a quartet, with Ben Katz on saxophone + keyboards, Devin Starks on bass, and Buz Donald on drums + electronics. |

As the Western world turned giddy with 1920s post-war optimism, composers fed the cultural fires with an astonishing array of newly-conceived musical ideas. Gershwin painted his Parisian experience with a piano duo, Janá?ek confessed his secret passions in a string quartet, and Korngold released a torrent of post-romantic music that would find its way to Hollywood’s biggest screens. |

The concert is part of the free Sunday Live at LACMA series.
DCO conductor Yuga Cohler, referring to the concert’s title, “build,” said that “each work is about construction in some sense — in Beethoven’s case, a revolution; in Aucoin’s case, a musical composition; and in Ravel’s case, an ideal, fairy-tale world.”
Now celebrating its 63rd season, the Debut Chamber Orchestra (DCO) is one of the oldest pre-professional training orchestras in the country. It is composed of talented young musicians from around the Los Angeles area, ages 15-25. Notable alumni include Michael Tilson Thomas, André Previn and Glenn Dicterow. DCO alumni consistently move on to positions with top symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles in the U.S. and internationally. |

Between 1823 and 1828, 108 concerts were programmed, presented, and performed by Beethoven and Schubert’s friend and collaborator, the violinist Ignaz Schuppanzigh (1776-1830). In the process, Schuppanzigh became the acknowledged father of the classical chamber music series, and his promotion of the Classical style through the music of Schubert, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, and other worthy composers had a lasting effect on audiences and the chamber music world. This season’s Winter Festival recreates four of these remarkable programs, featuring the Juilliard, Miró, Escher, and Shanghai String Quartets and a host of CMS artists. Join us for pre-concert lectures by Christopher Gibbs, the author, and scholar who recently brought Schuppanzigh’s extraordinary series to light (3/13/18), and distinguished archaeologist John R. Hale, who will explore the uniquely rich environment Vienna provided for musical creativity in the early 19th century (3/18/18). |

Between 1823 and 1828, 108 concerts were programmed, presented, and performed by Beethoven and Schubert’s friend and collaborator, the violinist Ignaz Schuppanzigh (1776-1830). In the process, Schuppanzigh became the acknowledged father of the classical chamber music series, and his promotion of the Classical style through the music of Schubert, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, and other worthy composers had a lasting effect on audiences and the chamber music world. This season’s Winter Festival recreates four of these remarkable programs, featuring the Juilliard, Miró, Escher, and Shanghai String Quartets and a host of CMS artists. Join us for pre-concert lectures by Christopher Gibbs, the author, and scholar who recently brought Schuppanzigh’s extraordinary series to light (3/13/18), and distinguished archaeologist John R. Hale, who will explore the uniquely rich environment Vienna provided for musical creativity in the early 19th century (3/18/18). |

BLOODLINES (Libretto by Lila Palmer; Music by Shuying Li): For Marcus and Esme, life is good. As children, they survived a war, and emigrated to adoption in a new country. As adults, they flourished and found love in each other. Then a strange series of events brings the old country dangerously to life in the present, begging the question: are all secrets better exposed to the light, or sh |

Opera Theatre of Saint Louis: An American Soldier with David Henry Hwang and Huang Ruo on Sunday, March 18, 2018 at 7:30pm.
Excerpts will be performed from An American Soldier, a new two-act opera based on the true story of Danny Chen, proud American and son of Chinese immigrants residing in Manhattan's Chinatown. After enlisting in the U.S. Army, Chen is welcomed in boot camp, but in Afghanistan, his own base becomes enemy territory as military hazing turns deadly, posing powerful questions about what it means to be an American. Librettist David Henry Hwang and composer Huang Ruo discuss their collaboration with James Robinson, OTSL Artistic Director, and Nancy Yao Maasbach, president of the Museum of Chinese in America, prior to the opera's World Premiere in Saint Louis. Excerpts performed by Fang- Tao Jiang, Andrew Stenson, and Guang Yang, accompanied by pianist Lachlan Glen. |

The accordion as you have never heard it before! On March 23rd, at 8:00PM, The Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ) invites you to attend Par cinq chemins… an opportunity to encounter this instrument in a decisively avant-gardist mode, in the hands of one of its most renowned current virtuosos, Joseph Petric.
An evening of discoveries with an eclectic program, including an original performance of José Evangelista’s famous work Monodias Españolas for piano and accordion plus new works by five young talented composers inspired by it: Charles-Antoine Fréchette, Symon Henry, Simon Martin, Cristina García Islas and Gabriel Ledoux.
To complete this foray into the heart of the accordion and electronics, the SMCQ also presents Lily, in a first ever mixed version, composed by one of Quebec’s fathers of electroacoustic music: Yves Daoust. Also on the program, Evangelista's short piece, Plume, sung by mezzo-soprano Marie-Annick Béliveau. |

Winner of the 2016 Annenberg Foundation Award, violinist Robyn Bollinger presents CIACCONA The Bass of Time. Part of the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta’s Cooke Noontime Series. Hear works spanning three centuries by four composers: Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's Passacaglia; Johann Sebastian Bach's Ciaccona from Partita No. 2 in d minor; Béla Bartók's Tempo di Ciaccona from Sonata for Solo Violin; and Luciano Berio's Sequenza VIII. Incorporating multi-media historical presentations and live personal narratives with musical performance, CIACCONA tells the story of one of music’s most ancient compositional ideas – the development of a simple repeating bass line – through the lens of solo violin repertoire. |

| Brahms, Ries, Schubert |
|
|
Contralto Avery Amereau takes center stage with ACO Men’s Chorus in a performance of Brahms’ masterpiece Alto Rhapsody. The stirring Schubert ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8 balances the program alongside his ravishing Gesange der Geister for male chorus and low strings. For contrast, we add a more ephemeral symphony by little-known composer Ferdinand Ries, a student of Beethoven in Bonn. The common thread that unites these works is the exploration of darkness and light through poetry, the varied textures of the human voice, and the sublime blend of the period instrument orchestra. |

| The Courage to Create |
|
|
Schubert and Prokofiev always followed their hearts and their ears, even when the world misunderstood them. Schubert never had a symphony performed publicly in his lifetime, but he conjured masterful sounds in the “Unfinished” Symphony that he abandoned midway, inexplicably. Music from Rosamunde—one of his many failed attempts to break into the theater world—matches the intensity of the “Unfinished” Symphony, and may have actually begun as its finale. Prokofiev endured his own rejections during his years of exile in Europe, especially once he turned toward a self-described “new simplicity.” The Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili brings her insightful perspective to Prokofiev’s elegant Second Violin Concerto, a work steeped in the crosscurrents between Russia and the West. |
