Jeffrey Kahane, conductor

Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

George Tsontakis Sound Investment commission (world premiere)

Bizet Symphony in C major

Get carried away by the sweeping melodies and emotional power of the great Romantics.

Heralded by the Los Angeles Times for the “glorious glitter and careful classical phrasing” of his Beethoven interpretation, Jeffrey Kahane conducts the pivotal Third Piano Concerto from the keyboard just as the composer himself did at its first public performance in 1803. Also an accomplished pianist, French composer George Bizet wrote his effervescent symphony at age 17, although the work was not heard until 1935, 80 years later. By contrast, American composer George Tsontakis looks forward to being in the audience with us when his LACO commission is premiered. Be there!

“Beethoven always had something up his sleeve, and so did Kahane. Perhaps because he’s a pianist too, Kahane the conductor has a special way with Beethoven. He articulates very clearly. He doesn’t exaggerate. He relies on a beautiful tone to draw the ear. Underneath, he creates a flow that subtly prepares a listener for spiritual revelations to come.” (Los Angeles Times)

The fourth recipient of the prestigious Charles Ives Living Award, esteemed American composer George Tsontakis was selected for LACO’s ninth Sound Investment commission. He’ll talk with members of the Orchestra’s commissioning club at three intimate gatherings leading up to the world premiere of his new work. To learn more about his “finely crafted and emotionally gripping… deliberately beautiful… compositional style” (www.recordsinternational.com) first hand, become a Sound Investor.
