Disney Concert Hall is THE venue for classical music. But this time around there was not enough performers to fill the stage. I was there for the Andrew Lloyd Webber Vs Puccini performance, with a cast filling all three tiers of the stage they sounded amazing with full bodied sound emanating from all directions. The cast for iPalpiti is small in comparison, I'd say half the number of the previous performance I mentioned. The result is a somewhat muted sound. Make no mistake about it, they sounded amazing and played with extreme precision. A more intimate setting is definitely a better fit for this performance.Written on Jul 27 2011

Founded by Eduard Schmieder in 1991, the iPalpiti (ee-PAHL-pit-ee is Italian for heartbeat) Orchestra became a flagship ensemble of iPalpiti Artists International in 1999. iPalpiti’s humanitarian mission of cultural exchange succeeded in creating a truly universal network among over 200 artists from all over the world, promoting international and cultural understanding through music. During the summer of each year, iPalpiti brings twenty-five to thirty of these exceptionally gifted professional musicians to its home-base in Los Angeles, California for the prestigious iPalpiti Festival of International Laureates where members perform in solo, ensemble, and orchestral public concerts.
iPalpiti artists, often referred to as “Musical Peace Corps,” hold claim to over 100 international competition awards. iPalpiti is internationally recognized for their breathtaking performances in Japan, Israel, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and Italy, to name a few. “Classical music is the spiritual factor which brings people together and unites them irrespective of religion and culture, appealing to sublime senses,” states Eduard Schmieder.
