“BRAHMS, BARTÓK AND BEYOND”: INFUSED WITH THE SPIRIT OF
EUROPEAN FOLK MUSIC, PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S FINAL CAFÉ LUDWIG CHAMBER CONCERT IS AN IDEAL WAY TO SPEND A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
But especially Mother’s Day (May 11)!
Steeped with the charm of traditional folk music, compositions by Bartók and Brahms—two masters of the genre—round out Ligeti’s innovative and probing “Six Bagatelles for Wind Quintet,” which explores the very foundations of music theory.
Piano sensation Orli Shaham returns in her seventh season to host Symphony principal musicians including Benjamin Smolen on flute, Jessica Pearlman on oboe, Benjamin Lulich on clarinet, Rose Corrigan on bassoon, Keith Popejoy on horn, Raymond Kobler on violin, Robert Becker on viola and Timothy Landauer on cello, in the Samueli Theater on Sunday, May 11 (Mother’s Day), at 3 p.m.
Audiences sip coffee or tea and sample sweet treats in the coffeehouse-style setting, while exploring the aural journey that also includes Bartók’s “Three Folksongs from Csik,” “Three Rondos on Slovak Folk Tunes” and “Romanian Folk Dances for Clarinet and Piano”; and “Piano Quartet No. 1.”
