Chamber Music Palisades Opens its 14th Season

Chamber Music Palisades Opens 14th Season on October 19, 2010
Chamber Music Palisades (CMP), the Westside music series celebrated for its stellar artistic line up and juxtaposing works old and new, launches the 2010-11 season, its 14th, with the world premiere of Peter Golub’s Quintet for Oboe, String Trio and Piano, dual birthday tributes to Robert Schumann and Samuel Barber, and Argentine composer Alberto GInastera’s Impressiones de la Puna for Flute and Strings on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 8 p.m., at St. Matthews Parish in Pacific Palisades.

The captivating Lyris String Quartet – featuring Alyssa Park, violin, the youngest prizewinner in the history of the Tchaikovsky International Competition, Shalini Vijayan, violin, Luke Maurer, viola, and Timothy Loo, cello – makes its series debut, performing with Anne Marie Gabriele, critically acclaimed oboist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and CMP Co-Founders/Co-Artistic Directors Susan Greenberg, longtime flutist with Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and in-demand solo and recording artist Delores Stevens, piano. KUSC announcer Alan Chapman provides commentary.

Opening with the Ginastera piece, CMP also offers birthday tributes to two classical music legends born one hundred years apart in different corners of the world. Greenberg and Stevens present Barber’s Songs for Flute and Piano to honor the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer, who was born March 9, 1910. Celebrating the life and work of Schumann, born in Germany a century earlier on June 8, 1810, Stevens and Lyris String Quartet perform Schumann’s Piano Quintet, Op. 44.

The world premiere of Golub’s Quintet for Oboe, String Trio and Piano, commissioned by CMP, is the latest work in the eminent concert, ballet, film and stage composer’s considerable list of credits. The concert works of the versatile composer, who is director of the prestigious Sundance Film Music Program, have been performed by Peter Serkin and Tashi, The Brooklyn Philharmonia and numerous chamber groups and soloists at Carnegie and Merkin Recital Halls, BAM, the Frankfurt Opera, Wigmore Hall, and other venues. Golub’s ballets include “The Gilded Bat,†performed at the Kennedy Center by Ballet West; “The Lost World†for the Miami City Ballet; “Trainon†for the Atlanta Ballet; and “Straight Through the Heart†for the Milwaukee Ballet. Among his film scores are “Stolen,†which was awarded a Best Music Award at the 2005 Avignon Film Festival; “American Gun†; “Wordplay†; “The Laramie Project†(HBO); “Sunset Story†; and “Americano.†
 
His numerous theatre scores include productions at The New York Shakespeare Festival, The Mark Taper Forum, Playwrights Horizon, ART, Berkeley Rep, La Jolla Playhouse, The Globe, the Huntington, Williamstown Theatre Festival and others. For ten years, he was Composer-in-Residence at Charles Ludlam’s legendary Ridiculous Theatrical Company in Greenwich Village. His musical, “Amphigorey,†was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Golub received a Doctorate in Composition from the Yale School of Music.

Chamber Music Palisades was founded in 1997 by Pacific Palisades residents Stevens and Greenberg. They draw guest artists from their vast pool of talented colleagues in the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and Los Angeles Opera, and from other leading instrumentalists based in the U.S. and Europe. In addition to presenting established chamber works, to date Chamber Music Palisades has commissioned 13 compositions by such renowned composers as Paul Chihara, Jane Brockman, Henri Lazarof, Adrienne Albert, Maria Newman, Gernot Wolfgang and Joel McNeely. The season continues with concerts on February 1, 2011, March 29, 2011, and May 3, 2011.
