The Besos Jazz Trio has been stirring up audiences with vibrant performances of music and dance since 2017. These worldly performers are a study in balancing traditions.

Beston Barnett, a Nashville native, plays manouche guitar and sings in five languages. “We keep it loose but alive; we leave space for what each of us does best,” says Wascinski.

LA Phil principals Boris Allakhverdyan and Whitney Crockett join the Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew's for one of Richard Strauss’s most beautiful and soulful late works, the “Duet-Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon.” Along with Strauss’ “Duet-Concertino,” the concert also includes “Zachor” (“Remembrance”) by Los Angeles-based composer David Lefkowitz (pictured above), a work which reveals an old Lithuanian Klezmer tune emerging from the distant past. Tchaikovsky’s lushly orchestrated “Serenade for Strings” rounds out the program. Our casual pre-concert feature, “Liner notes,” offers conversation with the evening’s artists and insights into the music and composers. “Liner notes” begins at 7:10pm in the church and is free to all ticket holders. All concerts take place at St. Matthew’s Church in Pacific Palisades. Tickets: $45; Students $10

8584593728 boxoffice@theconrad.org http://https://theconrad.org/events/le-consort/
Le Consort invites you to the baroque era, in which the trio Sonata was the most popular chamber music formation. This whirlwind program will spotlight examples by famous composers such as Bach and Telemann, alongside some unjustly neglected Baroque masters, illustrating the immense expressive range and creativity of this repertoire. With a few strokes of the two violins and cello bows and animation of the harpsichord’s keys, let yourself be teleported from the Venice of Albinoni and Gentili to the Naples of Porpora, with a visit to Telemann and Bach in Germany. The program concludes with a magnificent setting of “Follia”—the era’s most recognizable melody, and one which still resonates today. A great journey awaits you!

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THIS MASTERPIECE Imagine a Romantic masterpiece lost to time, unpublished, unrecorded, and unheard since 1897. Incredibly, after two premiere performances that one reviewer said “took nearly everyone by storm,” Boston-based composer Charles Martin Loeffler’s stunning Octet vanished into the archives of the Library of Congress until it was rediscovered in 2020 by CMNW Protégé Project Alumnus Graeme Steele Johnson. After a year reconstructing the score, an all-star ensemble including clarinetists Johnson and CMNW Artistic Director Emeritus David Shifrin, CMNW Protégé Project Alumni violinists Isabelle Ai Durrenberger and Anna Lee, Oregon Symphony bassist Braizahn Jones, and others will bring it back to life, alongside two masterpieces by Claude Debussy. You can be among one of the first audiences to experience Loeffler’s gorgeous Octet in more than 125 years!
