Maria Schneider - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Stories (2013) [West Coast premiere] Robert Schumann - Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54
Fresh from her success at our 2014 Gala, mezzo-soprano Lara Nie returns for the West Coast premiere of jazz leader Maria Schneider's triple-Grammy-winning 2013 Stories, based on works by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, one of Brazil's greatest poets. Also making her SFCO Main Stage debut is Bay Area pianist Lara Downes, "a magnetic force wrapped in flawless technique and a silken touch" (Musical Toronto). This Lara will perform the hauntingly beautiful Romantic piano concerto that Robert Schumann composed for his beloved wife, Clara.
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.
