Camerata Pacifica Reprises John Harbison’s String Trio
On February 19-23, 2027, Camerata Pacifica reprises John Harbison’s String Trio, which Camerata Pacifica proudly commissioned and premiered in 2013. Acknowledged as one of his most important works, the composer notes that the piece “shadows the Mozart Divertimento, K 563, in ways both plain and hidden.” It features Jolente De Maeyer, violin, Che-Yen Chen, viola, and Ani Aznavoorian, cello. Harbison’s tour de force is bookended by another segment of the “Beethoven 32” project with Gilles Vonsattel performing Beethoven’s playful Piano Sonata in G Major, Op. 49, No. 2, and Piano Sonata in B-flat Major, Op. 22, a virtuosic piece the composer himself regarded as the best of his early sonatas.
The performances are:
Thursday, February 18, 8:00 pm, Zipper Hall, Los Angeles
Friday, February 19, 7:00 pm, Music Academy of the West, Santa Barbara
Sunday, February 21, 3:00 pm, Janet and Ray Scherr Forum, Thousand Oaks
Tuesday, February 23, 7:30 pm, The Huntington, San Marino
