"Sharp's playing was elegant and impassioned, in turn sweetly lyrical and dazzlingly virtuosic..." -SFCV
SFCO concertmaster Robin Sharp takes center stage for a rare performance of Leonard Bernstein's masterpiece for violin, percussion, harp, and strings: his 1954 "Serenade", inspired by Plato's "Symposium" about the nature of love. This is Bernstein at his symphonic best: a richly colored and dramatic score, with six percussionists powering the stern and our nimble soloist at the bow. An earlier 20th century experiment in sound and color is Claude Debussy's 1904 "Danses sacree et profane" composed for harp and strings, its two movements are colorful musical portraits, intimate in scale and dazzling to the ears. Three short, exciting works for multiple percussionists round out this wide-ranging program.
