Elevate Ensemble’s opening performance of the 2014/15 concert season is not to be missed. The concert, held at the stunning Osher Salon of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, begins with “Nonet No. 1” from Hanns Eisler. This seldom heard composition--derived from a film score--leaps from style to style, a whirlwind of sound. Up next is Walter Piston’s Divertimento, a three movement tour de force for a nine piece ensemble.
The second half opens with the world premiere of Bethlehem Triptych, an awe-inspiring collaboration between composer-in-residence Danny Clay and San Francisco-based photographer and urban archaeologist Jeremy Blakeslee. For this piece, Clay drew inspiration from Blakeslee’s photos of the Bethlehem Shipyard at Pier 70. These photos--among the last taken before the shipyard’s renovation--will be projected around the hall during the performance.
The show will close with a performance of Richard Wagner’s most private work, Siegfried Idyll. Wagner wrote this gorgeous piece as a birthday present to his wife. Written for an orchestra of 13 musicians, this performance is a rare chance to hear the grand composer in a truly intimate setting.
