It's more like my last 3 concerts, since I just caught 3 in one day here in Santa Fe. In order:
1. Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, 12 noon matinee:
Magnus Lindberg:
(a) Acequia Madre (world premiere, commissioned by the Festival), for clarinet and piano (Chen Halevi, clarinet; Magnus Lindberg, piano)
(b) Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano (Chen Halevi, clarinet; Anssi Karttunen, cello; Magnus Lindberg, piano)
Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 (Miro Quartet)
Note on this concert: apparently Lindberg put the finishing touches on the world premiere work at 1:30 AM earlier today (i.e. overnight early Thursday). There was no title for the work in the program at the time of printing.
2. Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, 6 PM concert
Barber: String Quartet, op. 11 (Miro Quartet)
Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 2 in A, op. 12 (Ida Kavafian, violin; Kirill Gerstein, piano)
Knussen: Ophelia's Last Dance (Kirill Gerstein, piano)
Bartok: Contrasts (Ida Kavafian, violin; Chen Halevi, clarinet; Kirill Gerstein, piano)
Note on this concert: Gerstein used iPads at the piano for all the works he played. This makes the 2nd pianist I've seen who's used an iPad, the first being Jeffrey Kahane in Vancouver this past May.
3. Santa Fe Desert Chorale (a 5 minute walk from the Chamber Music Festival venue, thank goodness), "From Bach to the Beatles":
Traditional Norwegian: "Amen Jesus Han Skall Rade"
Giovanni Gabrieli: "Jubilate Deo"
Schutz: "Jauchzet dem Herren"
J.S. Bach: "Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied", BWV 225 - "Lobet den Herrn"
Schnittke: Three Sacred Hymns
Rautavaara: Vigilia, "Sticheron to the Mother of God" and "First Katisma"
Bradley Ellingboe: "Dappled Things" (2nd performance; world premiere was last week)
Mason Bates: "Observer in the Magellanic Cloud"
Mia Makaroff: "Butterfly"
Dolly Parton: "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"
Paul McCartney: (a) "Blackbird", (b) "When I'm Sixty-Four" (with some added words; not sure who gets the blame there)
George Harrison: "Here Comes The Sun"
Just a reminder for anyone who might look askance at the last part of the Desert Chorale's program, I am writing this from America. :)
