Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra Concerts
Cubberley Theatre, 4000 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto
Free Admission
Saturday, November 9, 7:30pm
Benjamin Simon, conductor
Yoonie Han, piano, with The Music Animation Machine
The Grosse Fuge was an almost-crazy experiment in dissonance and disruption by a completely deaf Beethoven. Called "repellent" and "incomprehensible" by his peers, Stravinsky consided it "an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever." Enjoy the "great fugue" 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. Rising young piano starYoonie Han makes her PACO debut with a late, great Mozart concerto (no. 23, in A major) and we prepare your ears for Beethoven with fugues by Mozart and Mendelssohn.
The concert will also feature PACO members performing movements from the masterworks of the chamber music repertoire, including Ravel's String Quartet in F and the Op. 87 String Quintet of Felix Mendelssohn.
