Chamber Music Alive! Single Date Tickets
The Sierra College Foundation is proud to present the eighth season of Chamber Music Alive! Chamber Music Alive is a three concert series at the Dietrich Theater in Rocklin at Sierra College.
Powerful and outgoing yet shy in nature, Robert Schumann was a composer who held nothing back in his music. His works are thrilling in their rhythmic verve, with soaring melodies and unexpected harmonic twists and turns. This year, our eighth season, we will celebrate this gifted composer's 200th birthday by performing one of his works on each program.
Concert One
October 3, 2010
We open the season with the Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra, the same ensemble who performed the all-Beethoven program with which we closed last season and for which you cheered so lustfully. Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture will herald a program of two extraordinary symphonic worksSchumann's Second Symphony, a work of deep Romanticism and striking power, and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, a composition of sheer joy with a "to die for" second movement.
Concert Two
January 30, 2011
Our second concert will feature one of Schumann's beautiful works for cello and piano as well as Beethoven's String Quartet, opus 59 #2 and Schubert's immortal Piano Trio in B flat Major, one of the last works he wrote before his untimely death.
Concert Three
May 1, 2011
Schumann's Piano Quartet and Beethoven's last Sonata for Violin and Piano (very much like his Pastoral Symphony in mood) will be featured in our third concert. And as an extra bit of fun, I will perform a group of virtuoso violin works by Fritz Kreisler and Wieniawski for violin and piano.
