Orchestra of Promise

Rebecca Liao - September 22, 2009
Warhorse has become a dirty word, synonymous with tired and predictable. If a musical warhorse is included in a concert program, particularly one as important as the season opener, its function is to appease those who did not love the aural and intellectual assaults that preceded it.

Knocking Opera Into the Ballpark

Lisa Houston - September 22, 2009

A night like this could get to be a habit. Saturday’s simulcast of San Francisco Opera’s Il trovatore was the seventh free, live simulcast in a tradition instituted by General Director David Gockley in 2006 and the fourth to be held at AT&T Park.

Christine Brewer is coming to town. Her upcoming recital for Cal Performances on Sept. 27 will feature the music of Berg, Strauss, and Britten, along with some old chestnuts favored by big-voiced sopranos of the last century.

A New Way to Program a Recital

Marianne Lipanovich - September 21, 2009
In its 11th season, the Ives Quartet once again is taking a fresh look at chamber music, with the result being a typically (for it) eclectic mix of pieces that relate to each other in surprising ways. “Putting the Pieces Together” is the first of its three-concert main-stage series.
