WELCOME TO SUMMERFEST 2022!

Composers, like writers or painters, draw on their lives, their experiences, their likes and dislikes, and use them as inspirations in their art. This summer we delve into those early influencers and muses that inspired the creation of some of the greatest music ever written.

We’ll spend our time in Paris, where composers, performers, writers, artists, and thinkers mingled and created art in aristocratic salons, cafés, cabarets, or the studios of the fabled conservatoire. We’ll immerse ourselves in the sonic world of Shakespeare, observe the changing of the seasons through Vivaldi’s eyes and ears, and experience the magnetic pull of Wagner on his contemporaries and followers. We’ll hear how Baroque music continues to influence composers to this day, and see how composers and performers working side-by-side can produce a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

I’m thrilled to bring back the Synergy Initiative, co-produced by Clara Wu Tsai, which this summer will feature collaborations between jazz musicians, opera stars, dancers, and choreographers in a truly unique and exciting week of immersive events.

I’m also beyond delighted that one of today’s most exciting composers, Caroline Shaw, the youngest composer ever to win a Pulitzer and a superstar of the music world, is joining us as Composer-in-Residence.

Besides presenting her new work, co-commissioned by LJMS, she’ll also curate the Takeover @ The JAI concert and join as a performer in several concerts.

We also introduce a new Wednesday series that will feature intermission-free concerts featuring some of our most beloved musicians and performers, followed by a party in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd where you can sample exceptional local food and drink and mingle with the musicians and each other.

With this fascinating musical journey and this incredible roster of artists, I truly believe you will not want to miss a single concert. For the first time, we have expanded the festival to four weeks, allowing for more space between concerts and a greater opportunity to experience everything. There has never been a better time to subscribe and join us!

A WEEKEND IN PARIS: The Salon and The Masquerade

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5 · 7:30 PM THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL

Salons were the cultural and intellectual hub of Paris; open forums for the city’s most creative minds to engage in thought-provoking and often subversive conversations.

These events, along with the famed Masquerade balls, were rife with stirring and seductive new ideas, art, literature, and music. The pieces on this program emerged from these glamorous salons and range from the charming piano duo by Debussy and Sarasate’s devilishly virtuosic Carmen Fantasy to Ravel and Caplet’s decadent and macabre evocations of Edgar Allan Poe’s story The Masque of the Red Death.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10 · 7 PM THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL

PRELUDE 6 PM The Baker-Baum Concert Hall Performance by Aestas Trio

Join us for this special Wednesday evening event at The Conrad as we transport ourselves to the Italian countryside. The Four Seasons, Antonio Vivaldi’s radical violin concerto, is by far the composer’s most popular work.

The concerto was one of the first of its kind and, in the right hands, can sound as revolutionary today as it did when it was first heard. The festivities continue after the concert with the best of San Diego’s culinary scene, libations, and more music in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd.

THE NEW ROMANTICS PRELUDE 6:30 PM The JAI Lecture by Alex Ross

FRIDAY, AUGUST 12 · 7:30 PM THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL Stirred by the sublime lyricism and expressive richness of the Romantic era, the composers on this evening’s program display passionate intensity and striking emotional honesty. We begin with Schubert’s Quartettsatz, one of the pieces that helped pave the road to the Romantic era, followed by the première of Marc-André Hamelin’s lush Piano Quintet, heard in its recently completed version for the first time, and we end with Dvoˇrák’s Piano Trio in F Minor, perhaps the composer’s most romantic outpouring and one that owes much to his mentor, Johannes Brahms.

PRELUDE 2 PM

THE BAKER-BAUM CONCERT HALL

The Baker-Baum Concert Hall Performance by Pelia Quartet

The complex textures and rich harmonies characteristic of Richard Wagner’s compositions had a magnetic force on the composers featured on this afternoon's program. From Strauss’ lusciously scored and radiantly colorful Sextet from his opera Capriccio and a string version of Berg’s intense Piano Sonata to arrangements and works in honor of Wagner by his own father-in-law, Franz Liszt, this program is a testament to the dominant force of this Romantic master.

The program ends with the rarely heard, lushly exuberant Sextet by Hungarian composer Ernst Von Dohnányi for strings, clarinet, and horn.

The Knights and Dance Heginbotham guide the audience through our local celestial environment. Focusing on each planet, Gustav Holst's masterpiece propels us from the fiery worlds at the core of our solar system to the icy bodies slowly orbiting in the far distance. The culmination of this tour brings our eyes and ears to rest on the one planet Holst excluded from his composition: the pale blue dot.
