Fortieth Anniversary Gala Concert
Sara Jobin, conductor
7:30 pm, Herbst Theatre
Charles Boone, Elementary Particles, Part I (2011, world premiere)
Roy Malan and Susan Freier, violins
Beat Furrer, Spur (1988, West Coast premiere)
Salvatore Sciarrino, Il silenzio degli oracoli (1989)
Terry Riley, In C (1964)
The evening's world premiere arrives fresh from the hand of an old friend of the ensemble, co-founder Charles Boone. In a change from the original program, his Elementary Particles, Part I replaces a postponed new work by Olly Wilson. Next, the ensemble will import Beat Furrer's incisive, rambunctious style with the West Coast premiere of his Spur, for piano and string quartet conducted by Ms. Jobin.
A dynamic wind quintet (also conducted by Ms. Jobin) opens the second half in Salvatore Sciarrino's transient but transcendent Il silenzio degli oracoli, the last of the Sicilian master's Sei Quintetti. Terry Riley's legendary genius will inspire a large-ensemble performance of his 1964 classic In C for a riotous closing to the ensemble's 40th anniversary season.
Everyone attending our April 4 concert is invited to a gala celebration afterward in the Green Room. Music will be provided by special guest DJ Dennis DeSantis, remixing selected recordings from the SFCMP catalog.
$30 General, $25 Senior, $10 Student
