Dear Da Camera Society Member,

The 2014-15 season of Chamber Music in Historic Sites is here! This announcement contains everything you’ll need to purchase your tickets to another exciting season of “the best – in venues, in consistent quality of performance, in the power to rejuvenate the listener…” (Los Angeles Times).

This season, you’ll enjoy choosing from a variety of settings and artists in concerts that combine musical masterworks, outstanding performances and the beauty of great architecture. A few new additions include Il Barocco – an all-Baroque series featuring the finest in early music performance; festivals exploring three areas of Southern California, from an historic California rancho in City of Industry – and one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, the historic Adams District – to the 20th century’s Westwood area. The Premium Series takes you from a Craftsman mansion perched in the Hollywood Hills, to a Ray Kappe-designed home in Rustic Canyon. A pair of concerts in Downtown L.A.’s iconic Bradbury Building feature music of the cinema, and songs from the Civil War. And don’t miss Jazz at the Mansion – a pair of Sunday afternoons with a pair of virtuoso jazz pianists – up close, in the Doheny Mansion’s Pompeian Room. Elegant receptions (including a special pre-fixe dinner), and lively pre-concert talks further enhance your experience.

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).

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).

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.

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 Bb, 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).

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).

CINDY WU, violin & ORION WEISS, piano Mozart 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.

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 five-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.”

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).

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 flag.

MUSICA PACIFICAThe imposing classical façade of a century-old landmark will bring you from a thriving urban neighborhood into a resonant setting for music by Bach, Vivaldi and their contemporaries performed by some of the “finest Baroque musicians in America” (American Record Guide), including celebrated violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock. 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).

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 find that particular place in the hearts of listeners that’s untouched by anyone else” (CD Review).

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 finely 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 influence. “Electrifying…wildly colorful and exploding with life” (Washington Post).


“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.”

The European grace, décor and elegance of the oldest private club in Los Angeles provides a unique setting for late-Romantic piano quintets by Franck (in f ) and Dvořák (No. 2 in A, Op. 81). Joining her in performing these larger-than-life works colored with Gallic and Czech accents, Da Camera Society Artist-in-Residence Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu has assembled an astonishing array of the best young musicians of her generation. Erin Keefe possesses a “violin tone [which] is gorgeously uplifting” (The Strad); and violist Che-Yen Chen emphasizes “not just the subtle emotion, but the humanity hidden in the music” (San Diego Union Tribune). 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).

Earth, Fire, Air, and Water Inspired by Madame de Pompadour’s private retreat at Versailles, this gilded Pasadena 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 fluent 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 Byron Adams, Variationes alchemisticae. Demonstrating his “tonality and melodiousness” (Los Angeles Times), Adams’ kaleidoscopic set of variations for flute, 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.

An Italian-Romanesque symphony of mosaic, marble and stone will provide a resonant and evocative setting for a rare performance of La Resurrezione, Georg Friedrich Handel’s Roman oratorio of 1708. Praised for its historically-informed performances, with “superbly timed pauses… [and] phrases like exhalations” (The New Yorker), Collegium’s twenty-one instrumentalists include many who have performed with major period-instrument orchestras. They include a concertmaster noted for his “imagination, taste, subtlety and daring” (Boston Globe). For this performance, the Bach Collegium will also be joined by some of the most talented young singers on the early music scene: Nell Snaidas’ “beautifully modulated…suppleness and warmth” (New York Times), the multi-talented Alic Teyssier’s “expressive coloratura” (Pforzheimer Zeitung); the “delicious sound” (Opera Magazine) of Grammy-nominated Ryland Angel; the “velvet legato” of Scott Mello – “sonorous and alive” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and Mischa Bouvier’s “soothing, cavernous baritone [which] can soar to heights of lyric beauty” (Opera News).

A Quartet in Paris Beneath the “rosy glow of a majestically vaulted rotunda,” four of Montreal’s most prominent Early Music performers make their Chamber Music in Historic Sites debut with their customary “elegant verve, fluency, style and grace” (Express Milwaukee). 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).
