What’s Interesting About This Concert
Music Director Donato Cabrera describes the Reich Duet as a kind of update on The Four Seasons. It features a soloist (Alexi Kenney) plus a secondary soloist (Jennifer Cho) playing with strings, just like the Vivaldi piece.
Alexi Kenney returns to his native Bay Area after an acclaimed 2018 debut with the California Symphony to lead Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in true Baroque-style, sans conductor, in this all-strings concert.
George Walker was the first African-American composer to win a Pulitzer Prize. Lyric for Strings is Walker’s best known and most-performed work.
