CALIFORNIA FESTIVAL: TO THE EDGE November 11–12 Esa-Pekka Salonen conductor Carey Bell clarinet San Francisco Symphony

The artistic freedom and entrepreneurial energy of California have served as a magnet for generations of artists. Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony tap into the Golden State’s innovative spirit in two programs presented as part of the California Festival: A Celebration of New Music, a two-week statewide initiative conceived by Salonen, LA Phil Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, and San Diego Symphony Music Director Rafael Payare. Bringing together organizations and ensembles from throughout the state, the festival is a windfall of some of the most compelling music of the last five years.

ESA-PEKKA SALONEN Kínēma JENS IBSEN Drowned in Light [SF Symphony Commission and World Premiere] IGOR STRAVINSKY Symphony in Three Movements Igor Stravinsky, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Jens Ibsen came to California for very different reasons, but each found themselves transformed by what they found here.

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL

GABRIELLA SMITH Breathing Forests IGOR STRAVINSKY (orch. STEVEN STUCKY) Les Noces

“For more than a century, California has been a home for musical experimentation. And it is where American composers are transforming the way music is composed, performed, and heard.

Today, California—a state with the economic power of a country, the ecological diversity of a continent, and the cultural diversity of the planet— represents a powerful vision for classical music.”

Two works by composers who speak to the spaces and sounds of California rub shoulders with the folkinflected Russian sounds of Stravinsky’s Les Noces, featuring new animated shorts by artist Hillary Leben.

EPIC EXPRESSIONS You’ve sat riveted from the first fanfare of a Mahler symphony to the cathartic conclusion 90 minutes later.

Or found yourself swept up in the heroic narrative of a Romantic tone poem. Dazzling orchestral colors abound and big emotions are the norm in music that paints on the broadest canvas.

Acclaimed as both a composer and conductor, Thomas Adès leads a program that explores a musical origin story beginning with Jean Sibelius and continuing through Adès himself.

For Adès, conducting is a natural way to explore these connections, as he shared in an interview with the Wall Street Journal: “When you’re conducting, you’re a conduit between the audience and a mysterious place where the composer’s music came from.”

Choreographer Alonzo King—who joins director Peter Sellars in June for a new staging of Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose and Arnold Schoenberg’s Erwartung—calls his works ‘thought structures,’ a term that seems to perfectly embody his inventive approach to movement. But for King, these ideas can only become reality through the magical exchanges that happen between artists: “We realize now that the world is very small and so we're interrelated and there's also an interdependence. And so the art is telling us that collaboration is the future.”

— Fables & Fairy Tales: Mother Goose June 7–9

“Each one of the pieces that Esa-Pekka and I are doing have a level of density and richness in them. You get the vibration of human life choices and the color, the blaze, the terror, and the crazy exultation of that.”—Peter Sellars

CHOICE CLASSICS

Choreographer Alonzo King calls his works “thought structures,” a term that seems to perfectly embody his inventive approach. But, as he has noted, it’s the relationship between music and movement that allows ideas to become reality: “Music is thought made audible. Dance is thought made visible. So, music and movement or sound and vibration, they are the same.”

For some, it’s the last time they will be hearing orchestral music live.

That's a very special thing.
