2014-2015 Season

The Da Camera Society of Mount St. Mary’s College

L.A. is full of surprises and endless opportunities for discovery, and Chamber Music in Historic Sites® takes you there! Join us as we explore the Southland, from historic homes in Topanga Canyon and the Hollywood Hills, to 19th-century landmarks in the historic Adams District and City of Industry — from architectural treasures in Downtown L.A.’s Old Bank and Broadway Districts, to majestic public spaces in Westwood and the Mid-Wilshire area. Chamber Music in Historic Sites fills each setting with world-class musical performances.

Let us surprise you with these unique combinations of “site and sound”. A pair of concerts set in Downtown L.A.’s iconic Bradbury Building offer two very different experiences – from Anonymous 4’s “farewell tour” to a saxophone quartet’s celebration of music of the cinema. The legendary Tallis Scholars will continue to thrill when you hear their voices soaring through a resonant contemporary space of concrete and glass. Jazz at the Mansion showcases the virtuosity of Harlem stride master Marcus Roberts and tango-infused Pablo Ziegler, and six Doheny Soirées bring you within arms reach of the finest chamber music artists performing today. New this season, Il Barocco (an all-Baroque series) brings vibrant performances of works by Vivaldi, Bach & Handel to three imposing landmarks.

From the largest Craftsman residence in the U.S. and an 1840s California Rancho, to a former speak-easy and a dignified private club — join us this season and discover a few surprises of your own!

Kelly Garrison, General Director

“One of the city’s most civilized entertainments.…combines adventurous music making with a voyage of discovery through the city’s rich architectural heritage” (Architectural Digest)

“Hearing music in these locales can be a revelation, a fascination, or merely a juxtaposition; it can never be routine” (Los Angeles Times)

“The Chamber Music in Historic Sites series is a serendipitous masterpiece; I defy any other city on the planet to come up with anything like [this] wise, resourceful list of stupendous musical entertainments sublimely matched to their surroundings and delivered with the subtext that hope exists for the world after all.” (L.A. Weekly)

“Amid all the local competition, the series that is simply the best — in venues, in consistent quality of performance, in the power to rejuvenate the listener as only live musical events can — is Chamber Music in Historic Sites.” (Los Angeles Times)

“For a melding of the creative arts of architecture and music, there is nothing in Los Angeles as sublime.” (Los Angeles Times)

L.A. Is Full of Surprises

More Than a Concert Series

“Nothing breathes new life into an historic landmark more than music. Music can reach across time, gracing spaces with the warmth of old sounds newly created. It brings the past to life and reveals a building’s soul.” (MaryAnn Bonino, Ph.D., Founding Artistic Director Emeritus)

Doheny Soirées “Under the gold dome and its ring of cherubs, the audience enjoys a nearly visceral connection with the performers.” (Los Angeles Times)

11 October 2014 • Saturday, 8:00 PM • West Coast Debut!

St. Petersburg Piano QuartetThe season opens with the West Coast debut of an ensemble joining two members of the internationally-noted St. Petersburg Quartet with two rising stars: a Cuban-American cellist and “one of the very best young pianists before the public today” (American Record Guide). Piano quartets by Mozart (in Eb, K. 493) and Brahms (in g, Op. 25) will balance elegance and intensity, with the “fiery and impetuous” playing of Ilya Yakushev (New York Times) lending extra zing to Brahms’ alla zingarese (gypsy) finale. Highlighting their Slavic and Latin sensibilities, the ensemble will also offer the local debut of Tracing Astor, Leonid Desyatnikov’s “cool minded” homage to the new tango – or, as he put it, “Piazzolla Extra Dry.” An evening of “effortless brilliance…fine ensemble and passionate insight” (Stereo Review).

20 February 2015 • Friday, 8:00 PM

Auryn QuartetMentored by the Amadeus and Guarneri Quartets – and Claudio Abbado – the Auryn Quartet won two major international competitions right out of the gate, along with kudos for their “enviable balance of abandon and discipline” (American Record Guide). Three spectacular decades later, the quartet still brings a fresh and pioneering approach to every performance. In the gold-and-marble intimacy of the Pompeian Room, their brilliance will transport you to a glittering salon in Vienna as you experience string quartets by three of its great masters: Mozart’s “Hunt” (in B flat, K. 458), an early Beethoven quartet (in c, Op. 18/4) whose gypsy finale honors his teacher Haydn, and Schubert’s powerful “Death and the Maiden” quartet (in d, D. 810). “A compellingly dramatic and assured performance” (The Times, London).

30 May 2015 • Saturday, 8:00 PM

Cindy Wu, violin & Orion Weiss, pianoMozart Violin Sonata Cycle“One of the finest sometimes-public chambers in town” (Los Angeles Times), the Pompeian Room welcomes the ultimate in chamber music intimacy when violinist Cindy Wu performs four of Mozart’s violin sonatas (Köchel numbers 302, 303, 306, 404) plus Schubert’s Fantasy in C (D. 934). “Capturing the spirit of the music astonishingly” (Liberty Times, Taiwan), she will be joined by one of the finest pianists of his generation: “When you’re named after one of the biggest constellations in the night sky, the pressure is on to display a little star power – and the young pianist Orion Weiss did exactly that.” (The Washington Post). With tonight’s recital, we conclude this season of Chamber Music in Historic Sites in anticipation of next season, when we will continue our two-year cycle of Mozart’s elegant violin sonatas. Be sure to look for forthcoming announcements of related Salon Talks and other activities.

This concert is sponsored by J.H.B. Kean & Toby E. Mayman.

7 November 2014 • Friday, 8:00 PM

Kavafian-Schub-Shifrin TrioAni Kavafian, violin; André-Michel Schub, piano;David Shifrin, clarinet

The golden-hued splendor of the Pompeian Room welcomes world-class music making by three stellar artists – an ensemble whose unique chemistry reflects their 25 years of friendship, international acclaim as soloists, and their longtime association with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Inspired by “le jazz hot,” dance, ragtime and folk tunes, their lively program includes Bartók’s Contrasts (commissioned by Benny Goodman), Stravinsky’s riveting Suite from L’Histoire du Soldat, Milhaud’s Suite (Op. 157b) and Bolcom’s Afternoon Cakewalk. “Three hyper-virtuosos” for whom “no praise can be too high” (Boston Globe).

14 March 2015 • Saturday, 8:00 PM

Dover Quartet with Peter Myers, celloThe mansion’s great rotunda welcomes a powerful program in the hands of a phenomenally talented ensemble. Catapulted to stardom in 2013 after a complete sweep of all awards at the Banff International String Competition, the Dover is now one of the world’s most sought-after quartets. With a “level of nuance unexpected in musicians so young” (Wall Street Journal), they will bring to the Pompeian Room a Mozart string quartet (in D, K. 499) followed by two masterful testaments to the human spirit. Composed two years before his fatal transfer to Auschwitz, Viktor Ullmann’s masterful Quartet No. 3 was written at Terezin, where he declared “our artistic endeavors were commensurate with our will to live.” One of the greatest chamber works of the 19th century, Schubert’s String Quintet (in C, D. 956), was written during the final months of his life. Its performance last summer by the Dover Quartet and Peter Myers “won new fans for its sublime playing” (New York Times).

23 January 2015 • Friday, 8:00 PM

Trio Cavatina with Cindy Wu, violaOne of the strongest chamber groups of their generation will match the Doheny Mansion’s elegance with the perfection of their ensemble and their “potent, intense interpretations” (Musical America) of piano trios by Mendelssohn (in c, Op. 66) and Schubert (Notturno in E flat, D. 897). Winners of the 2009 Naumburg International Chamber Music Competition, the Cavatina’s “great refinement, presence” and “charismatic moments of triumph” (Philadelphia Inquirer) will be further enhanced when Cindy Wu, a Da Camera Society Artist-in-Residence, lends her trademark effervescence to the lush elegance and vitality of William Walton’s Piano Quartet.

Cappella Series

Tallis ScholarsGaudeamus!Prepare yourself for the holidays by experiencing the “splendid musicality and gorgeous sound” (Boston Globe) of this celebrated ensemble in one of Southern California’s great acoustical wonders. Savor Josquin’s monumental vision of heavenly bliss, the Missa Gaudeamus – “Let us rejoice!” – and a group of shorter works by William Byrd, including his heart-melting lament on the death of Thomas Tallis, Byrd’s mentor and the ensemble’s namesake. Voices will soar into the heavens through St. Basil’s towering forest of vertical concrete volumes, “creating tone clusters that dazzle like shafts of sunlight” (The Guardian, UK).

Shanghai QuartetIn the resonant hilltop ballroom of the largest Craftsman residence in the United States, savor the unique artistry of one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. Balancing the emotional breadth of Western music with the color and delicacy of the East, quartets by

Haydn (in D, Op. 20/4) and Ravel (in F) will frame the “otherworldly atmosphere” of Zhou Long’s evocative Song of the Ch’in. “If there is a string quartet currently in circulation that produces a more beautiful sound than the Shanghai Quartet, the name doesn’t immediately come to mind” (New York Times).

This concert is cosponsored by Fredda and Bruce Wasserman.

Matching the grandeur of its “Alpine” Craftsman-Tudoresque architecture, an internationally acclaimed ensemble will bring to its ballroom “luxurious, beautifully sculptured performances” (New York Times) of string quartets by Mendelssohn (in e, Op. 44/2) and Brahms (in B-fl at, Op. 67). “Passion, precision and interpretive smarts in near perfect synchrony.” (Los Angeles Times).

Marcus Roberts, jazz pianoTwenty years after his Chamber Music in Historic Sites debut at the historic Dunbar Hotel, one of the pre-eminent jazz artists of his generation brings his trademark “timeless piano style” to the intimate elegance of the Pompeian Room. A “jazz renaissance man” who opens “a creative window on both the past and the future” (Los Angeles Times), Roberts was the subject of a recent “60 Minutes” feature in which his mentor, Wynton Marsalis, called him a “walking encyclopedia of America’s jazz heritage.” Observing that when the fi ve-year-old Roberts “lost his sight, he gained a rare insight into American music,” Marsalis added: “We call him the ‘genius of modern piano’ because he is.”

25 January 2015 • Sunday, 2:00 & 4:00 PM • California Debut!

The Mermaid Topanga CanyonC.E. Finkenbinder (1930)

Premium Series • Light Reception

Alliage QuintettTucked away in the lush wilderness of Topanga Canyon, a Spanish-Colonial mansion with its own rich musical history welcomes the Southern California debut of an exceptional quintet – four saxophones and a piano – celebrated for its programs of spectacular “virtuosity and wit” (Radio Berlin Brandenburg, Kulturradio). Their name – the French word for “alloy” – is both a nod to the saxophone’s alloy of copper and zinc, and an expression of their genre-busting stylistic diversity shedding new light on old favorites. “Dazzling [with] charm and breathtaking perfection” (Südkurier) they will creatively interpret the Overture to Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade,

Chikage Imai’s “Seductive Realm” (a Magic Flute Fantasy) and the Nagao/Bizet Rhapsody on Carmen, plus a bit of Satie and Gershwin in between. “Entertaining, humorous music with a deep undertow…their sheer joy of playing [is] an experience not to be missed” (HR-Klassik).

DC8 TrioTien-Hsin Cindy Wu, violin; Peter Myers, cello; Nate Farrington, bass

In the center of a six-acre complex celebrating 100 years of Southern California history, a Spanish Colonial Mansion of the 1920s welcomes three members of the Da Camera Society’s contemporary-music ensemble. With its “bracing now-and-then cultural duality” (Los Angeles Times), the ensemble’s Americana-infused program joyfully blurs the lines between classical and popular — Edgar Meyer’s roots-tinged Grand Duo, selections from Mark O’Connor’s Grammy-winning Appalachian Journey blending “bluegrass…with the structural discipline…of chamber music” (Baltimore Sun), and DC8’s own arrangement of the “Blues” movement of Ravel’s Violin Sonata No. 2 in G. “An inspiring addition to the contemporary music landscape in Los Angeles” (Los Angeles Times).

Rancho La Puente Festival: Workman & Temple Family Homestead is a remnant of the 49,000-acre Rancho La Puente, which dates back to the 1770s. Through lectures, essays and self-guided tours, explore the California Rancho Period and the story of these prominent pioneer families. Tours of the original Workman House (1870s) constructed around an 1840s adobe, along with La Casa Nueva (1922-27) and El Campo Santo, one of the region’s oldest private cemeteries, containing the remains of Pio Pico, the last governor of California under the Mexican fl ag.

Catalyst QuartetRising above an historic grove of eucalyptus trees on eight redwood towers, an architectural masterpiece with spectacular canyon and treetop views provides a dramatic setting for the local debut of an “invariably energetic and fi nely burnished” ensemble (New York Times). Celebrating pianist Glenn Gould’s legendary recordings of Bach’s mighty “Goldberg” Variations, the “Catalysts” create an interplay between Bach and his interpreter by pairing their arrangement of selections from Bach’s “Goldbergs” with Gould’s youthful String Quartet (1955) – a fascinating experience of contrast and infl uence. “Electrifying…wildly colorful and exploding with life” (Washington Post).

Anonymous 4 with Bruce Molsky, fi ddle & banjo1865: Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil WarAfter nearly 30 years of international touring and more than 20 recordings, including 76 weeks at the top of Billboard’s classical chart, the unearthly voices of Anonymous 4 will make one of their last live appearances in Los Angeles, in the resonant fi ve-story atrium of Downtown L.A.’s most iconic interior. Their farewell tour teams them up with the “Rembrandt of the Appalachian Fiddle” for a program commemorating the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. “1865” takes a winding path through the hills and back roads of America – from songs of Stephen Foster to Home Sweet Home and Aura Lea (better known as the melody of Elvis Presley’s hit Love Me Tender) and the memorial

song for Abraham Lincoln, The President’s Grave. “The vocal ensemble of the decade…they always seem to fi nd that particular place in the hearts of listeners that’s untouched by anyone else” (CD Review).

For this special performance, San Francisco’s sizzling Baroque quartet will be augmented with six string players from the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra to perform concerti for strings and winds by Vivaldi, Telemann and Graun – plus two of Bach’s dazzling Brandenburg Concerti: No. 4 in G and No. 5 in D with its spectacular harpsichord solo. Lauded for its breathtaking virtuosity and warm expressiveness, this is “playing to ravish the senses” (Fanfare Magazine).

Joining her in performing these larger-than-life works colored with Gallic and Czech accents, Da Camera Society Artist-in-Residence Cindy Wu has assembled an astonishing array of the best young musicians of her generation.

A Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Artist, cellist Nicholas Canellakis has been praised for his “impassioned…soulful… rich alluring tone” (New York Times); and Israeli pianist Roman Rabinovich, offers “brilliant technique and mature sensitivity” guaranteeing “a masterful performance” (Herald-Tribune, Sarasota).

landmark welcomes music by her contemporaries: François Couperin’s Sonade from Les Nations: “La Francoise,” and Jean-Fery Rebel’s Les élémens. Since the brilliant young members of Les Sync are equally fl uent performers on baroque and modern instruments, the program also includes the early-20th-century Sonata da camera of Gabriele Pierné, and a new work by Da Camera Scholar-in-Residence Byron Adams, Variationes alchemisticae. Demonstrating his “tonality and melodiousness” (Los Angeles Times), Adams’ kaleidoscopic set of variations for fl ute, viola, cello and piano meditates on the operations performed by alchemists of olden times upon the iconic four elements which inspired Rebel’s enchanting score.

A saxophone ensemble with a luscious spectrum of sound will celebrate that legacy by bringing their “jaw-dropping virtuosity” (Messaggero Veneto) to the Bradbury’s dramatic fi ve-story interior. Music by noted fi lm composers (Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone and Michael Nyman) will share the stage with pieces adapted for the cinema (Gershwin’s Blues and the Barber Adagio).

Their program celebrates the storied 1737 premiere of Georg Philipp Telemann’s famous “Paris” Quartets, when many of the performers were also accomplished composers – Lully, Blavet and Forqueray. Telemann rubbed shoulders that night with the most promising musicians in Paris, and their works join his in this program celebrating virtuosity and excitement. “Energy and vigor…technical surety…superb musicianship and just enough showmanship” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
