For this unique show, Concerto Köln -- one of Europe's most celebrated Baroque orchestras -- will perform concerti of Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann under the magnificent 90-foot-high dome of the Art of Living Foundation, Los Angeles Center. Formerly the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, this Beaux Arts landmark boasts the largest poured concrete dome of its time. Concerto Köln will fill that grand space with its historically informed performance style for this show, presented as part of the critically acclaimed Chamber Music in Historic Sites series from the Da Camera Society of Mount St. Mary's College.

SF Symphony: Barantschik and Vinocour Play Britten's Double Concerto

Full Price:
$34.00 - $92.00
Our Price:
$10.00

The San Francisco Symphony, under the baton of conductor Kirill Karabits, spotlights violinist Alexander Barantschik and violist Jonathan Vinocour for a performance of Benjamin Britten's Double Concerto. Written as a tribute for Britten's composition teacher when the composer was just 18, the Double Concerto is a challenging piece that requires immense technical skill on both the violin and viola. Its youthful vigor is sure to challenge the virtuosity of the Symphony's Concertmaster and Principal Violist. The program also features Honegger's Pacific 231 and Sibelius' Symphony No. 2.

Acme of original instrument groups -- one of the finest in the world. Faultless with the possible exception of their programming which features too many lesser compositions by lesser composers. The core of the Baroque remains Handel and Bach -- both underrepresented.

The choice of Zelenka would have been far more satisfying than the monotony of the relatively one-sided Vivaldi and other minor composer featured (a quite forgettable exponent of the 'sewing machine' school of composition).
