American violinist Simone Porter leads this collaboration between New Century Chamber Orchestra and students from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for a musical tour of illumination. Featuring works from the 12th to the 21st century, each piece on the program depicts different kinds of light: light from nature, light that inspires or clarifies, light that bestows joy.
Program:
ANDREW NORMAN
Sabina
HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS
Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9
J.S. BACH
Violin Concerto in E Major
Simone Porter, violin
HILDEGARD VON BINGEN
O virtus sapientiae (Oh Divine Wisdom)
JUHI BANSAL
Cathedral of Light
HEINRICH BIBER
Battalia à 10
W.A. MOZART
Divertimento in F Major
Beginning with Andrew Norman's Sabina, written in response to an ecstatic experience watching the sun rise in an ancient Roman cathedral, and moving through the upward gaze of Hildegard von Bingen's O virtus sapientiae (Oh Divine Wisdom), the program concludes with Mozart's Divertimento in F Major, the very spirit of levity and brilliance. Other works on the program include Juhi Bansal's Cathedral of Light, J.S. Bach's Violin Concerto in E Major, Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No. 9, and Heinrich Biber's Battalia à 10.
Born in 1996, Porter has been recognized as an emerging artist of impassioned energy, interpretive integrity, and vibrant communication. In the past few years she has debuted with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and with a number of renowned conductors, including Stéphane Denève, Gustavo Dudamel, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Nicholas McGegan, Ludovic Morlot, and Donald Runnicles. This will be her first guest leadership with New Century.
"I'm so excited for the opportunity to join an ensemble that mixes probing musical curiosity with tight-knit collaboration and vibrant artistry!" says Porter. "My favorite performances occur when the onstage camaraderie supports a golden balance of trust and spontaneity. I think New Century is perfectly tuned to beckon this dynamic and including students from the Conservatory will expand the sonic and creative possibilities even further."
