January 2013: Festival Series

  • Power House Theatre Walla Walla, WA, 99362 United States (map)

An edge-of-your-seat set of multi-genre chamber music. From Bach to Radiohead.

The 2013 Winter Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival comes to a close with a program of tremendous variety. J.S. Bach is perhaps the most prolific composer of all time. His Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 weaves together 9 independent melodic lines with seamless continuity. Some 270 years later, Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov deployed nine musicians in a completely different idiom. His nonet The Last Round distills the sounds and imagery of the Tango: the wheezing of the accordion-like bandoneon, the intricate interplay of entwined legs, and the macho posture of the tanguero. Tying the whole program together, renowned ensemble Sybarite5, fresh from their Carnegie Hall debut, will take the stage for a set of multi-genre chamber music. From Bach to Radiohead, Sybarite5 brings freshness and virtuosity to their innovative approach to music in the 21st Century.

Artists: Louis Levitt, Sami Merdinian, Laura Metcalf, Angela Pickett and Sarah Whitney as Sybarite5 along with Timothy Christie, Benjamin Gish, Julia Salerno, and Maria Sampen
