LA Chamber Orchestra Launches 2024-25 Orchestral Series with Trailblazers: Martín Brahms Bauer

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s 2024/25 Orchestral Series launches with TRAILBLAZERS: MARTÍN BRAHMS BAUER, featuring Music Director Jaime Martín conducting Brahms’ sunny yet wistful Symphony No. 2 in D major on Saturday, October 19, 7:30 pm, at Glendale’s Alex Theatre, and Sunday, October 20, 4 pm, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Additionally, LACO presents the program on Monday, October 21, 2024, 7:30 pm, at Santa Barbara’s Granada Theatre, appearing courtesy of the Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara on its prestigious International Series to open the organization’s 106^th concert season.

Guest artist Thomas Bauer, a baritone who sings with “sheer virile force” and “emotional intensity” (Opernglas), is spotlighted on Mahler’s deeply personal song cycle Songs of a Wayfarer, a masterpiece arranged for chamber orchestra by Schoenberg.

Martín begins the program with Haydn’s sixth symphony, “Morning,” the first in a triptych of early Haydn symphonies portraying the times of day.

The Orchestra also receives public funding via grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; State of California; California Arts Council; the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs; Perenchio Foundation; and Walter J.
