SAN FRANCISCO,
It’s autumn — leaves and perhaps the stock market are falling, regime change is in the air, and San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra presents All That Fall. Sonic amber Waves of grain will be harvested in Kat Walsh’s new string quartet, breezily evoking a new post-minimalist consciousness. And certainly autumnal daze is found in the days of Charlie Sharzer’s The First Week of Freshman Year, a hilarious and thoughtful tour-du-force of pre-academic musical delights. In a related spirit, Mark Alburger takes the mating games of young and old seriously in Broke Dance Intermezzi, as a series of spins on artful calisthenics from around the clock and world, alluding to J.S. Bach, John Cage, Jethro Tull, and African gumboot / xylophone music, among others.
Spilling into a fall romance, the program concludes with Igor Stravinsky‘s classic / neoclassic / neobaroque Pulcinella Suite — because, as we all know, if it ain’t baroque, break dance it…
Program:
Mark Alburger – Broke Dance Intermezzi
Charlie Sharzer – The First Week of Freshman Year
Igor Stravinsky – Pulcinella Suite
Kat Walsh – String Quartet “Waves”
