Luscious Noise ~ the live classical music and multi-media experience featuring members of the San Diego Symphony.

Featured guests ~ flutist Demarre McGill and harpist Julie Smith

Prepare to be scintillated by harp on June 26 during Carlos Salzedo’s Latin inspired “Scintillation.” Carrying on with the harp will be Hovhaness’ “Upon Enchanted Ground” for harp, flute, cello, and giant tam-tam. For solo flute, Honegger’s creamy dreamy “Danse de la Chèvre” will make the mind dance; while Debussy sustains that note with “Danses Sacree et Profane” for harp and strings.

Eyes will then be fixated on “The Red Shoes,” the Oscar winning classic that scored big in 1948 for best music score and art direction. La Divina, the larger than life Maria Callas will also appear on screen, singing “Una Voce Poco Fa” from Rossini’s “the Barber of Seville.” For further amusement — a hypnotic scene from the overture of Ingmar Bergman’s film “The Magic Flute.”

More is in store. Be there to find out.

More Luscious Noise on March 14th

balletmina — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:30:53 +0000

The third interlude of the Luscious Noise performance series at Anthology continues on March 14th with the motif — “Night Music.” Members of the San Diego Symphony will transport audiences to old Vienna as they perform:

· Beethoven’s “Septet”

· Mozart’s “Ein Kleine Nachtmusik” and “Clarinet Quintet”

· Franz Schreker‘s “Intermezzo“

· Schoenberg’s affecting arrangement of Gustav Mahler’s “Songs of a Wayfarer”

Conductor John Stubbs, producer of the event says, “The highlight of this show will be the ‘Songs of a Wayfarer’ by Gustav Mahler. It was arranged for a small ensemble by Arnold Schoenberg for exactly this purpose; being able to present these works in an intimate environment with small forces.”

The evening event will also feature performance footage with….

· Carlos Kleiber conducting the Vienna Philharmonic performing Strauss’s famous waltz “The Blue Danube”

· Soprano Natalie Dessay’s in her career defining role as Queen of the Night in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”

· Jiří Kylián’s breath taking dance piece, “Petite Mort” performed to Mozart’s “Piano Concerto”

Luscious Noise serves as a means for new audiences to come experience live classical music in a comfortable setting where they can eat, drink, and mingle while they watch the show. Some guests of the November and January performances have even found Luscious Noise to be a perfect outlet for introducing their children to classical music. Children of a mature six years of age and up have proven to be quite content.

Stubbs says, “I have gotten a tremendous amount of positive feedback from audience members who admitted to not knowing that much about classical music. And the members that did thoroughly enjoyed it.”
