SUMMARY:Preconcert Lecture: Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic presents Santa Diego Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Heading back to the (almost) springtime desert\, this time to introduce an all-Brahms program by the San Diego Symphony with music director Rafael Payare! The orchestra is partnering with violinist Leonidas Kavakos for Brahms’s smokin’ Violin Concerto in D Major and closing the program with Symphony No. 3. \nI will explore a major connection between these two works: titanic violinist Joseph Joachim\, one of Brahms’s oldest musical friends. Joachim advised Brahms on the concerto and played the premiere. And Symphony No. 3 pays homage to Joachim in a cheeky way\, rethinking a musical motive once associated with the violinist.

SUMMARY:Preconcert Lecture: Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic presents Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Sure\, it’s a drive from Los Angeles to the Coachella Valley\, but the enthusiastic community of lovers and the star-level concerts presented by the Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic are worth it! I have the pleasure of introducing what promises to be an astounding performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and their Music Director Emeritus for Life\, Riccardo Muti. The program—Brahms Symphony No. 4\, Stravinsky’s Divertimento from Le baiser de la fée\, and Ravel’s Bolero—is made for showing off orchestral color and pleasing audiences. \nMy preconcert lecture will look at how composers borrow ideas and elements from the past and sources outside their immediate cultural context.

SUMMARY:Preconcert Lecture: Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony come to the desert! I will be introducing their all-Sibelius program\, part of the wonderful concert series presented by the Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic. The organization is celebrating it 50th anniversary and has inaugurated preconcert talks for select performances. I am honored to have been invited to launch this educational opportunity for their audiences. \nThe program consists of three Sibelius favorites: the national treasure Finlandia\, Symphony No. 1 in E Minor\, and—of course—the beloved Violin Concerto in D Minor\, with Georgian-born German violinist Lisa Batiashvili as soloist. \nI will explore the particular musical language of Sibelius\, what one scholar described as embracing “both the birth of Finnish nationalism and the emergence of a distinctively Nordic modernism at the beginning of the twentieth century.”
