PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

How does music create a mood or fuel an emotional response? How do framing and context impact our perception of something? Exploring these questions, the program features one of Bartók’s best-known compositions—made famous from the soundtracks of films including Being John Malkovich and The Shining—a musical fever dream that heightens our senses with constantly changing meters and a vast range of sounds generated by the largest (self-conducted!) orchestral forces of the season. Gubaidulina transforms a Bach chorale, infusing it with irresistible smoky turbulence. In between, Mozart’s light and happy serenade stands in stark contrast and suddenly feels otherworldly…

Sofia Gubaidulina | Meditation on the Bach Chorale “Vor deinen Thron tret ichhiermit,” BWV 668
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525
Béla Bartók | Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, Sz. 106, BB 11

“This concert is the culmination of a multi-year effort to program the Bartók, which is one of my favorite pieces. It’s hallucinatory in nature, with the ground constantly shifting, and hearing it for the first time sent shivers up my spine.
— Crier Jesse Irons
