It’s hard to pick winners from a crowded field of excellent new music, well-performed by the festival orchestra under Marin Alsop.

You’d be forgiven if you haven’t heard of Rebel and Aubert, but ABS’ performance highlighted the inventiveness of their lesser-known works.

American Bach Soloists completed its second evening devoted to “Versailles & The Parisian Baroque” at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a bit of drama.

Merola does it again with the excellent Don Pasquale, but the production deserved more than just two performances.

Performing works inspired by Schubert’s example brought needed variety to Music@Menlo.

Music Director and Bay Area wunderkind Teddy Abrams is set to change the small Oregon festival’s profile.

Santa Fe Opera has another successful launch of a new work thanks to the work of composer Jennifer Higdon and librettist Gene Scheer.

With its unique setting, a former steel pipe factory, West Edge Opera stays true to its marketing tagline of "unexpected places" for "remarkable operas."

The cellist shows polish and musicality in new, experimental works.

Schubert lived a tragic life, resulting in some dour music. But the third Schubertiade in Music@Menlo summer festival proved even the darkest music can be rewarding.
