Author/essayist David Rakoff is best known for his biting humor, which inspiredThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution to describe him as "the love child of Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde, and All About Eve's Addison DeWitt." The wry and the heartfelt combine in his works, like New York Times bestsellers Fraud and Don't Get Too Comfortable, as well as Half Empty, which won the Thurber Prize for Humor. A regular contributor to NPR's This American Life, Rakoff has also worked closely with fellow This American Life contributors David and Amy Sedaris on their plays Stitches, The Little Freida Mysteries, The Book of Liz, and the Obie award-winning One Woman Shoe. Rakoff's appearance at Cal Performances' Zellerbach Hall will include an audience Q&A and book signing. Learn More

Quotes & Highlights
- "(Dausgaard is) a conductor of rare conviction and insight." -Daily Telegraph (London)
Description
Founded in 1995, the acclaimed Swedish Chamber Orchestra presents new perspectives, not only for traditional chamber ensemble repertoire but also for music that is usually perceived as belonging to the realm of the full-size symphony orchestra. The gifted ensemble of 38 musicians is led by Music Director Thomas Dausgaard ("a conductor of rare conviction and insight," says London's Daily Telegraph). The Berkeley concert also features Polish-Hungarian pianist Piotr Anderszewski, who has been widely praised for the intensity and originality of his interpretations after first coming to public attention at the 1990 Leeds Piano Competition. The program will include works by Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, and a Swedish composer to be announced.
<p>Program:
</p>
<p>Beethoven, Coriolan Overture, Op. 62
Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15
