Sun 8.15 - Music at the Mission: In Aeternam

Elena Kats-Chernin's Heaven is Closed is an "emotional journey" inspired by the despair of a son's incurable illness, coupled with a hint of eternal optimism. This quick, energetic, and rhythmically driven work will receive its U.S. Premiere at Cabrillo Festival. Then Philip Glass will be in the audience for his "haunting, lyrical" Cello Concerto, featuring soloist Wendy Sutter. Composer Pierre Jalbert's In Aeternam was written as a memorial to Jalbert's niece who died at birth, and its Latin title means In Eternity. George Walker is the first African-American composer to win a Pulitzer Prize, and under Maestra Alsop’s baton the Festival Orchestra will present the West Coast premiere of his Foils for Orchestra (Hommage à Saint George). This work, "suggesting explosive clashes and a violent duel of thrusts and parrying," brings the 2010 Cabrillo Festival to a triumphant close.
