Info:
Continuing its intimate and thought-provoking chamber series, Music at the Mission presents a program of music by modern masters inspired by social conflicts, their challenges to humanity and the underlying hope for peace. An informative talk at 7:15 p.m. precedes the concert.
Armed conflict brings out the worst of humanity, and it has also inspired some of history's greatest art. The March 13 concert features top Bay Area musicians Jeff Anderle, clarinet Karen Shinozaki Sor, violin Gianna Abondolo, cello and Music at the Mission Director Aileen Chanco, piano, performing moving works by Messiaen, Schoenfield, Janaek, and Christos Hatzis. Of particular note is the ambitious and ground-breaking Quartour pour le fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time) written by Olivier Messiaen in 1941 as a passionate response to the brutality of the times. This concert is made possible by a grant from the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, Musical Grant Program and the Fremont Bank Foundation.
Founded by Aileen Chanco in 2005, Music at the Mission restores the luster of Mission San Jose's early 19th century reputation as an active center for musical performance by presenting a vibrant mix of contemporary and historic music in the intimate acoustics of the Mission. Chanco draws on the wealth of accomplished Bay Area's musical community, inviting the region's top performers to come together in a celebratory atmosphere of music making and exploration of chamber music in various combinations ranging from duos to small orchestral configurations.
