Upcoming

This weekend is full of concerts.  Tomorrow, Seattle Pro Musica sings a concert at St. James Cathedral featuring pieces for double choir.  Herbert Howell’s Requiem,  Holst’s Ave Maria, and Stanford’s Magnificat are all on the program.  Throw in an excellent venue in St. James, and this is a must hear concert.  

Tasmin Little plays a solo recital based on her recording and online project – The Naked Violin – on Sunday.  While Tasmin Little is upstairs in the Nordstrom Recital Hall, downstairs, the Seattle Youth Symphony will be playing Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique and Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem.  An impressive program for the teenage musicians.  The Seattle Philharmonic also play on Sunday.  Music from Peaslee, Levant, and Copland’s Billy the Kid are on the program.  Dusting off forgotten pieces of music is one of Adam Stern’s calling cards.  This concert is proof of that.

Next Friday, Joshua Roman comes back to town for what I think is the Seattle premiere of John Tavener’s Protecting Veil.  Tavener’s piece is paired with Shostakovich’s Op,110 String Symphony.  The concert is the next installment in the Northwest Sinfonietta’s survey of the 20th Century.  Orchestra Seattle is also back at it next Sunday with Beethoven’s 6th Symphony and Vaughn Williams’s Serenade.  Down south, in Portland, folks writing about classical music didn’t care for Carlos Kalmar’s decision to program the Serenade with Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.  Different city.  Different Beethoven symphony.  Same outrage?  Not from me.  I rather like the Serenade and actually think it pairs better with the 6th Symphony.
