Description
Yi-Wen Jiang’s string quartet arrangements of popular Chinese folk melodies set the stage for a celebration of the Year of the Wood Dragon—a symbol of nobility, honor, and success in Chinese culture. A feast of delightful dances evoking the exuberance of village festivities, Tan Dun’s Concerto for Six marries Eastern and Western musical traditions in a work that spotlights each player’s virtuosity. And Mendelssohn’s Second String Quintet finds the composer scaling new heights of drama and lyricism, from the opening gale-force winds of tremulous sound to a blazing finale that races to the finish line. Come early and enjoy a glass of wine on us to complete the perfect night out.

Highway 1, USA: First up is an uplifting film by trailblazer William Grant Still, hailed as “the Dean of African American Composers.” Norman Garrett and Nicole Heaston star as a hardworking Black couple determined to build a better life, whose years of sacrifice are misguided.

 

The Dwarf: Next up is a Gothic tale of one-sided love in a decadent Spanish court. Tenor Rodrick Dixon stars in the title role opposite audience favorites Erica Petrocelli and Kristinn Sigmundsson in Alexander Zemlinsky’s The Dwarf. Last staged at LA Opera in 2008 to critical acclaim, Oscar Wilde’s fable is brought to life through a lush and romantic score.

Description
Taj Mahal is a towering musical figure, quantifying the 77-year-old’s significance is impossible, but people try anyway. A 2017 Grammy win for TajMo, Taj’s collaboration with Keb’ Mo’, brought his Grammy tally to three wins and 14 nominations, and underscored his undiminished relevance more than 50 years after his solo debut. Sona Jobarteh is the first professional female Kora virtuoso to come from any of the West African dynasties. Her lineage carries a formidable reputation of renowned Kora masters — most notable are her grandfather, and her cousin. Sona is reputed for her skill as an instrumentalist, distinctive voice, infectious melodies and her grace onstage.
