JENS IBSEN Drowned in Light (World Premiere)
STRAVINSKY Symphony in Three Movements
The dynamic and versatile San Francisco Symphony returns to Berkeley with music director Esa-Pekka Salonen in a one-of-a-kind program showcasing the unique musical chemistry between this orchestra and conductor. The SF Symphony plays the world premiere of a new work by Jens Ibsen, the most recent winner of the Emerging Black Composers Project, a collaboration with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music to foster the creation and performance of new music from early-career Black American composers. Ibsen focuses a wide range of life experience and influences into his music--he's a classically trained, Ghana-born metalhead who sang as a principal soloist in the Vienna Boys Choir--and the panel that selected him praised his music for its "enthralling balance of rhythmic drive, elegant tonality, and beautiful settings of words." Salonen also conducts his own Kínema, a showcase for principal clarinetist Carey Bell; and Stravinsky's cinematic and propulsive Symphony in Three Movements.
