SUMMARY:Zoom Course / Music Between the Wars
DESCRIPTION:The Colburn Community School invites you to join Colburn Conservatory of Music’s Chair of Music History and Literature Kristi Brown-Montesano in an exploration of music from the interwar period (1919—1939)\, an era which witnessed an astonishing variety of aesthetic and stylistic developments in western Classical music. \nThese creatively rich decades—bookended by cataclysmic World Wars—inspired composers to innovate\, to look more closely at their national identity\,  and to explore “popular” genres and new types of sounds. Lectures will delve into the historical context and aesthetic ideals of individual works and related arts. \nNote: Course meets on 6 consecutive Saturdays\, beginning Jan 30\, 2021 and concluding on March 6\, 2021. Registration required.

SUMMARY:LA Opera for Educators / Women of Don Giovanni
DESCRIPTION:Don Giovanni. This infamous rake poses interesting challenges for audiences in the #MeToo era. And certainly K-12 educators are conscious of those issues as they introduce this Mozart classic to 21st century students. \nBased partially on my book (Understanding the Women of Mozart’s Operas) I will be talking about the opera’s musical and dramatic structure\, as well as directorial choices and reception history of Mozart’s Don. As educators\, together we’ll review possible critical lenses applied to Don Giovanni (and Mozart) (and opera producers) in considering this opera’s female characters.

SUMMARY:Zoom Course / Exploring Beethoven's Ninth
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s Ninth is iconic. But why does it persist as a cultural touchstone\, well into the 21st century? This is my inaugural Zoom course for the Colburn Community School. So I’ve invented a class for adult learners—from Beethoven super fans to musical novices—where we’ll explore the musical structure\, mythos and echoing disco reverb of Beethoven’s last symphony.

SUMMARY:Invited Rehearsal / Weimar & LA Phil
DESCRIPTION:Weimar Republic\, Germany\, 1919-1933. Historically speaking\, it’s a long way from Los Angeles 2020. So I help prepare local school music students (grades 6-12) for what they’re about to hear during the LA Phil’s rehearsal.  These exciting programs include important works by Hindemith and Weill\, among others.

SUMMARY:Concerto Winner / Colburn Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Colburn’s Concerto Competition winner Sanga Yang kicks off the Colburn Orchestra season by performing Schumann’s notoriously challenging Cello Concerto. LA Opera conductor James Conlon leads a program also featuring Weber’s Euryanthe Overture and Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 3. \nSchumann’s cello concerto is his last composition before entering an asylum\, surrendering to the mental illness that censured his creative life. As Sanga’s teacher\, and my Colburn colleague\, Clive Greensmith says\, “As a human being\, as an artist\, this is a piece that helps you become more sensitive and more deeply aware of the emotional content of music. It separates artists from mere technicians.” \nI host a pre-concert interview with James Conlon at 6:45pm\, and the down beat is at 7:30pm. \nPlease note: regular admission is $15\, and premium seating is $30.

SUMMARY:SummerFest Finale / Nicholas McGegan
DESCRIPTION:The finale concert of SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan’s inaugural season celebrates the concerto grosso. Conductor and harpsichordist Nicholas McGegan leads the SummerFest Chamber Orchestra. Great masterworks pair in exciting ways with modern visions of the form. And it all ties back to Opening Night’s exploration of the deep connection of music across centuries. \nIn my pre-concert talk for the finale concert—(7pm)—we’ll explore the concerto grosso’s social history. It’s a charming string-centric genre that first arose in seventeenth-century Italy\, delighting audiences and inspiring some of the most celebrated Baroque composers. We will consider the special qualities of the Baroque concerto grosso. And explore how contemporary composers such as Zwilich and Norman have woven some of these elements into fascinating fusions of the musical “then” and “now.”
