J.S. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 Ludwig van Beethoven: Grosse Fuge, Op. 133
Bach's 4th Brandenburg is his happiest. Scored for solo violin, 2 solo flutes, and string orchestra, it ends with the most joyful fugue ever written. Beethoven's "great fugue" was something different, an almost-crazy experiment in dissonance and disruption by the by-now completely-deaf composer. Called "repellent" and "incomprehensible" by his peers, Stravinsky considered it "an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever." Hear the wonderful strings of the SFCO tackle this masterpiece, while you watch the incredible visual representations of the score produced by Stephen Malinowski's Music Animation Machine projected onto a screen above the orchestra.
Great music worth listening to. Classical masterpieces, unusual gems, and modern works offer a feast for your ears at every concert, while Maestro Simon's engaging onstage talks help you connect more powerfully with the music. Concerts are generally 90 to 120 minutes in length, with an intermission.
Admission is free to all concertgoers! Supporting members receive priority seating and priority entrance 60 minutes before concert time please bring your membership card with you. Non-members may enter 45 minutes before concert time.
No pre-concert talks this season we're trying something a little different and hope you enjoy our new, audience-friendly format.
