SUMMARY:Kluxen – Bach\, Prokofiev\, and Mozart
DESCRIPTION:In 1747\, Bach impressed Frederick the Great with The Musical Offering. Years later\, Webern was inspired to reframe Bach’s famous 6-voice fugue with a pointillistic pen\, illustrating genius at a whole new level. The romantic second movement of the Violin Concerto No. 2 foreshadows Prokofiev’s ballet Romeo and Juliet—he created both on the cusp of leaving the West for life under the Soviets. A similar range of Sturm und Drang colours Mozart’s “Little G minor symphony\,” which completes the program. \nSundays at the Farquhar Series underwritten by Harry & Julie Swain\nConcert underwritten by Helen Stuart & Jill Gibson\nTerence Tam underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer

SUMMARY:Being Robert Schumann – “Spring” Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Trading bouquets of mutual admiration and professional support\, Schumann lent his discerning ear to the ‘dreamy’ incidental music written by his close friend Mendelssohn—the first person to conduct Schumann’s “Spring” symphony. The same work was the starting point for composer Rita Ueda in a VS/VSO co-commission. A celebration of Tokyo’s famed cherry blossom (sakura) season features koto soloist Miyama McQueen-Tokita in a fusion of ancient Japanese traditions with the present day. \nSundays at the Royal Series underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by the Gail O’Riordan Climate & the Arts Legacy Fund at the Victoria Foundation \n\nCONCERT SPONSOR

SUMMARY:Gryphon Trio – ECHO: Memories of the World (Workshop Event)
DESCRIPTION:Important! Gryphon Trio – Echo: Memories of the World has been postponed to a future VS/POV season. All ticket holders will be refunded on Tuesday\, November 21. Please wait a few business days for this transaction to appear on your banking statement. \nAs a thank you for supporting this concert\, we would like to invite you to a workshop with the artists on December 3 at 4:00 pm at the Baumann Centre. The event will be approximately 90 minutes in length. More information below! \nEcho: Memories of the World – reflections on the creation of a new multimedia work\nSunday\, December 3\, 4:00 pm\, FREE\nWingate Studio at the Baumann Centre (925 Balmoral Road) \nTHIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP EVENT\nMoved by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action\, Canadian artists and arts organizations are re-evaluating and changing the way they approach the creation of new work. \nArtists serve as the custodians and storytellers of our shared heritage\, their creative expressions transcending time and space to connect us across generations. Yet\, throughout history and even today\, certain memories and voices have been marginalized\, silenced and stolen. \nIn 2021\, Canada’s celebrated Gryphon Trio assembled a remarkable team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists to work collaboratively and create work in a new way. This collective creation journey has resulted in Echo: Memories of the World – an emotionally charged experience that combines music\, words\, and film. Echo delves into the ways history has been erased\, manipulated\, and attacked\, while simultaneously celebrating visionary artists who have defied suppression and breathed life into enduring works of profound significance. \nOn Sunday December 3\, Victoria Symphony\, Pacific Opera Victoria\, and the Gryphon Trio invite you to join the Echo: Memories of the World creative team for a gathering that will reveal insights into the project’s creative process\, include multimedia excerpts performed by Gryphon Trio\, mezzo soprano Marion Newman Nege’ga and narrator čačumḥi aaron m. wells. The event will conclude with a Q & A session. \nThis free event will take place at the Baumann Centre at 4:00 pm and will be approximately 90 minutes in length. \nA tapestry of music by Andrew Balfour\, Eliot Britton\, Ian Cusson\, Ry Moran\, Kelly-Marie Murphy\, Marion Newman\, Bach\, Beethoven\, Mendelssohn\, Shostakovich and contemporary Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov\, interwoven with poignant storytelling\, digital audio\, evocative imagery\, and film\, Echo: Memories of the World unveils resilient visions of the future\, drawing inspiration from three diverse corners of the world: the lands now known as Canada\, Norway\, and Ukraine. \nWe look forward to seeing you soon!

SUMMARY:Being Robert Schumann – Adieu
DESCRIPTION:Holly Mathieson returns to travel through musical space and time. In the wake of his marriage to Clara Wieck\, music poured out of Schumann’s pen\, including the three “symphonic” gems that open this program. A dozen years later\, Clara’s diaries detailed her heart-rending reaction to her husband’s descent into madness\, as depicted in Schafer’s moving monodrama. Schubert left several of his works “Unfinished” in his short life\, but a fragmentary Symphony in D major provided the 19th century framework for Luciano Berio’s 20th century Rendering of what Schubert had in mind. \nHolly Mathieson underwritten by Millicent Nickason\nAllyson McHardy underwritten by George Lovick

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Transfigured Night
DESCRIPTION:The strings of the Victoria Symphony are showcased in three works\, beginning with a familiar\, high-spirited piece by a 16-year-old Mozart. Shostakovich’s sparkling wit\, sly humour\, and love of musical parody are displayed in his energetic Concerto for piano\, trumpet\, and strings. Then step out from the darkness into the light\, and have your view of Schoenberg’s music transformed. “Transfigured Night” is an early\, overtly romantic piece with musical echoes of Brahms\, Wagner\, Mahler\, and Richard Strauss. \nConcert underwritten by Tim McGee\, KC & Mary Mullens\nRyan Cole underwritten by Marc & Patricia Lortie\nDavid Jalbert underwritten by George Lovick

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Shostakovich Symphony No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Symphony teams up with the Greater Vic­toria Youth Orchestra in a special joint performance sure to inspire. Enescu’s work sets the stage in a stately and supremely lyrical manner that tugs at the heartstrings. VS principal cellist Brian Yoon tackles one of the top five cello concertos\, still popular 150 years after it was written. With his career hanging by a political thread\, Shostakovich composed his subtly defiant Symphony No. 5. The 45-minute ovation that followed its premiere assured his musical voice would go on to inspire future generations. \nConcert underwritten by Jim & Betty Hesser and Fritz & Dora Boehm\nBrian Yoon’s performance underwritten by Barb & Steve McKerrell and Jim & Betty Hesser\nGreater Victoria Youth Orchestra underwritten by The Sunflower Fund

SUMMARY:Raiskin and Zhu – Paganini
DESCRIPTION:Youthful brilliance is on display as Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Music Director Daniel Raiskin welcomes American violinist Kevin Zhu\, first prize winner at the 2018 International Paganini Competition in Genoa\, Italy. Rossini composed The Barber of Seville at the age of 14\, but Russian/American polymath Lera Auerbach composed her first opera at only 12! She’s gone on to be one of today’s most exciting creative voices\, and her 2010 tribute to Mozart\, Eterniday\, was premiered by Maestro Raiskin. Grieg withdrew the score of his early Symphony in C minor from circulation\, but its perceived merits have only improved with age. \nConcert underwritten by Carol Bellringer & Greg Doyle\nKevin Zhu underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer
