But the main event is a new ballet score by the composer Gabriela Ortiz\, co-curator of the Pan-American Music Initiative with Dudamel and the Phil. Like many of Ortiz’s works\, the ballet Revolución diamantina (“Glitter Revolution”) connects to critical real-world events\, in this case the feminine protest movement that erupted in Mexico in 2019 following the rape of a girl by police officers. \nAn LA-Phil commission\, Revolución diamantina receives its world premiere (concert version) with this 4-concert run. I will have the honor of speaking with Gabriela Ortiz about her first ballet score during the Upbeat Live preconcert conversation and lecture.

By 1960\, the potential appeal of updating Tchaikovsky’s score was obvious enough to a savvy musician like Duke Ellington. \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://kristibrownmontesano.com/event/upbeat-live-the-nutcracker-with-dudamel/ LOCATION:Disney Hall\, 111 S Grand Avenue\, Los Angeles\, 90012\, United States CATEGORIES:Pre-Concert Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kristibrownmontesano.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Duke-Ellington-Nutcracker.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="LA Phil":MAILTO:information@laphil.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220602T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220602T200000 DTSTAMP:20220903T032022Z CREATED:20220903T031434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220903T032022Z UID:10000019-1654196400-1654200000@kristibrownmontesano.com SUMMARY:UpBeat Live / Power to the People!

Join me for Upbeat Live\, where we review Fidelio’s history and prepare this new semi-staged collaboration between the LA Phil’s and Deaf West Theatre.

Much of the of the harmony is based on Gehry’s first name: F A G E H (B natural in English). \nAnd Gabriella Smith’s new organ concerto Breathing Forests. As a composer and environmentalist\, Smith explores the complex relationship between humans\, forests\, climate change\, and fire—with the wood and power of the organ invoking the grandeur of the forest. \nThen buckle up for Strauss’ whirlwind of a symphonic poem\, well known for its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
