SUMMARY:Kluxen – Brahms Symphony No. 3
DESCRIPTION:The product of a summer’s holiday in 1883\, Brahms’s Third Symphony has been described as being “…artistically the most perfect.” A single movement from Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 was the inspiration for Britten to present a musical posy: What the Wildflowers Tell Me. The poetry of Pablo Neruda moved Peter Lieberson to create a song cycle for his wife\, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson\, “one of the most extraordinarily affecting artistic gifts ever created by one lover to another.” \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert and Allyson McHardy underwritten by Dr. Fritz & Dora Boehm\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Pouliot – Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:“Oh\, how difficult it is to make anyone see and feel in music what we see and feel ourselves.” Early\, temperamental reactions to his Violin Concerto must have stung Tchaikovsky\, but it’s now a firm favourite of countless violinists\, including Canada’s Blake Pouliot. A set of comic portraits of personality types\, or temperaments\, triggered Nielsen to recreate them in musical form\, from the introverted (melancholic and phlegmatic) to the extroverted (choleric and sanguine). Composer Missy Mazzoli’s mesmeric Sinfonia is music ‘in the shape of the solar system\,’ weaving and coiling itself in a sequence of pulsing loops. \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert underwritten by Natexa Verbrugge\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nBlake Pouliot underwritten by George Lovick

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Liszt & Lieder
DESCRIPTION:Poetry\, mystical texts\, and an angelic altarpiece tie together this program of divine inspiration. Lyric tenor Josh Lovell returns home to Victoria to sing Finzi’s rhapsodic cantata and some of Strauss’s exquisite lieder in rich orchestral settings. Alongside the inspired ecstasy of Lizst’s tone poem and Hindemith’s imaginative symphonic portrait\, their spiritual connections will be unveiled. \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by Millingtons: Trustees of The Lou Williamson Scholarship Fund\nJosh Lovell underwritten by George Lovick

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Mozart & Bartók
DESCRIPTION:Two musical giants converge in a program that touches on music of the night. In modern parlance\, Mozart’s Gran Partita could be subtitled “My Big Fat Viennese Wind Symphony.” Its rich sonority stems from a palette of woodwinds with double bass\, likely written as an evening’s entertainment – music as big as all outdoors! Bartók paints a more complex canvas of mid-century Europe\, with two string orchestras astride with a bevy of percussion. Here the mystic contrasts with nature\, where genius and madness blur. Two colossal contrasts of orchestral colours! \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert underwritten by Helen Stuart & Bob Hoogendoorn** Mozart Fund\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Mozart's Prague Symphony
DESCRIPTION:From the deceptively simple to disguised genius\, these works from different eras connect in intriguing ways. Ligeti’s Austro-Hungarian roots link the Vienna of old with the micro-melodic modern day. Mozart’s “Prague Symphony” features the same playful wit and melodic genius of his operas The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Korngold was viewed as modern day Mozart\, evolving from child prodigy in Vienna to a pioneering composer for stage and screen. And Nielsen’s neo-classical concerto\, featuring VS Principal Clarinet David Boutin-Bourque\, encapsulates the Danish composer’s often inscrutable personality. \n\nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Julie & Harry Swain\nConcert and David Boutin-Bourque’s performance underwritten by Helen Stuart & Bob Hoogendoorn** Mozart Fund\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer
