San Francisco Performances: Leila Josefowicz, violin with John Novacek, piano
SEE EVENT DETAILS
"Her virtuosity surfs waves of jubilant energy," according to the Los Angeles Times. Every performance by Leila Josefowicz is a revelation of new things to be heard and felt in the familiar and a happy introduction to new sounds from less familiar creative voices. John Novacek is "a pianist well worth keeping an ear open for" (Fanfare).
PROGRAM:
DEBUSSY: Sonata for Violin and Piano in G Minor, L140
SZYMANOWSKI: Mythes, Trois Poèmes, Op. 30
ERKKI-SVEN TÜÜR: Conversio for Violin and Piano
STRAVINSKY: Divertimento from The Fairy's Kiss
~~~~~~~~
An outstanding champion of contemporary music, Leila Josefowicz is the chosen interpreter of several leading composers including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Steven Mackey and Luca Francesconi. Recent seasons have included tours with The Cleveland and the Finnish Radio Symphony orchestras as well as performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Seattle Symphony, Washington's National Symphony Orchestra, the Orquesta Nacional de Espana, and the Royal Concertgebouw, Toronto Symphony and Sydney Symphony orchestras.
Pianist John Novacek regularly tours the Americas, Europe and Asia as solo recitalist, chamber musician and concerto soloist; in the latter capacity he has presented over thirty concerti with dozens of orchestras. He is a much sought-after collaborative artist and has performed with Joshua Bell, Matt Haimovitz, Leila Josefowicz, Cho-Liang Lin, Yo-Yo Ma, Truls Mork, Elmar Oliveira and Emmanuel Pahud, and, as well as the Colorado, Harrington, Jupiter, New Hollywood, St. Lawrence, SuperNova and Ying string quartets. He also tours widely as a member of Intersection, a piano trio that includes violinist Kaura Frautschi and cellist Kristina Reiko Coooper. Mr. Novacek has also given numerous world premieres and worked closely with composers John Adams, John Harbison, Jennifer Higdon, George Rochberg, John Williams and John Zorn.
