LA SALSA!

Musical Discovery

Sierra is one of today’s fastest-rising composers, thanks in large part to his hugely popular third sinfonia, heard here in its Bay Area debut.  The concert will take a detour to Daugherty’s fever dream of crazed motorcyclists, personified by a quartet of bassoons (Italian: fagotti), but conclude triumphantly with Britten’s popular tour of the modern orchestra.

What Makes This Concert Special?

Anyone familiar with the old Warner Brothers cartoons (Bugs, Daffy, Porky, and the Roadrunner), or Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, will recognize Raymond Scott’s madcap jazz classic!  This is contemporary music — from 1930’s jazz to present-day Latino-inspired tunes —that’s fun, irreverent, brilliant, and danceable—but please stay in your seat!
