Mixed Message

Dan Leeson - April 13, 2009

For its 2008-2009 season finale on Saturday, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, under Benjamin Simon’s effective direction, presented an eclectic program with a theme of “Bach to Bach” — meaning, of course, that the concert would both begin and end with a Bach composition, though the finale was a very different kind of Bach.

Musical Menageries

Jeff Dunn - April 9, 2009

New, Old, and All Tantalizing

Jonathan Russell - April 8, 2009
The Bay Area is fortunate to have a number of ensembles dedicated to new music, each with its own slightly different approach. The Left Coast Chamber Ensemble’s spin is to frequently include a couple of old works on their programs alongside the newer ones. When you think about it, this really is a unique approach.

Comedy and Its Other

Stephanie Friedman - April 7, 2009
Being funny, it seems, is serious business. Many years ago, I prepared an audition piece for a critique by an acting coach. My tastes in selecting arias and songs ran to the lugubrious, and someone suggested Dinah’s aria from Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti. As I was singing it for my coach, I noticed she was laughing her head off.

FORMERLY is Present, Pointing to the Future

Janos Gereben - April 7, 2009
“My name is Dylan Mattingly, I’m 17 (though for only three more hours ...), and I, along with Preben Antonsen (also 17), run a local new music ensemble made up of kids our age which plays music written in our lifetimes,” said the irresistible e-mail.

Anna Carol Dudley - April 7, 2009
Kurt Weill and several of his cabaret contemporaries from the “Roaring Twenties” in Berlin roared into the Martin Meyer Sanctuary at Temple Emanu-El Sunday afternoon.
