A joyous return to live concerts starts with SF Performances' first ever summer concert series called Summer Music Sessions.
Jennifer Koh has defined and expanded music through insightful and dazzling performances and commissions. Timo Andres has also blazed a trail of captivating new works and crisp, rewarding performances. A member of the JACK Quartet, Jay Campbell is passionately dedicated to the music of our time.
Recognized for intense performances, delivered with dazzling virtuosity, violinist Jennifer Koh is a forward-thinking artist dedicated to exploring a broad and eclectic repertoire, while promoting diversity and inclusivity in classical music. She has expanded the contemporary violin repertoire through a wide range of commissioning projects, and has premiered more than 70 works written especially for her. Her quest for the new and unusual, sense of endless curiosity, and ability to lead and inspire a host of multidisciplinary collaborators, truly set her apart.
Timo Andres (b. 1985, Palo Alto, CA) is a composer and pianist who grew up in rural Connecticut and lives in Brooklyn, NY.
Notable works include Everything Happens So Much for the Boston Symphony; Strong Language for the Takacs Quartet, commissioned by Carnegie Hall and the Shriver Hall Concert Series; Steady Hand, a two-piano concerto commissioned by the Britten Sinfonia premiered at the Barbican by Andres and David Kaplan; and The Blind Banister, a concerto for Jonathan Biss, which was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize Finalist.
Armed with a diverse spectrum of repertoire and eclectic creative interests, cellist Jay Campbell has been recognized for approaching both old and new music with the same curiosity and commitment. His performances have been called "electrifying" by the New York Times; "gentle, poignant, and deeply moving" by the Washington Post.
The evening's program will be:
ANDRES: Winding Stair, Small Wonder (solo cello) and Piano Trio
JANACEK: Pohadka and Violin Sonata
$45/$55/$65.
Presented by San Francisco Performances
