SUMMARY:Beethoven Symphony No. 5
DESCRIPTION:A fateful quote from The Iliad inspired Beethoven\, and the American composer Carlos Simon. Is it fate\, “knocking at the door” that their works should be featured on the same program? Like Beethoven\, Prokofiev composed five piano concertos. From its premiere in 1921 with the Chicago Symphony\, Prokofiev’s Third Concerto has proven to be his most popular—a brilliant showcase of both the lyrical and the virtuosic gifts of the great pianist-composer. \n\nSundays at the Royal Series underwritten by Jill Gibson\nConcert underwritten by Tim McGee\, KC & Mary Mullens\nDavid Danzmayr underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nNatasha Paremski underwritten by Peter & Sharon Jando

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 & Chooi – Barber Violin Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Even as a fledgling conductor\, a 16-year-old Christian Kluxen was already taken with Tchaikovsky’s music. Its mix of romantic beauty with bittersweet melancholy pairs well with Barber’s Violin Concerto\, especially as interpreted by the internationally-renowned\, Victoria-born violinist\, Timothy Chooi. Rodney Sharman’s update of Scarlatti’s music provides a modern perspective of its easy-going virtuosity and surprising dissonances. \n\nSundays at the Royal Series underwritten by Jill Gibson and Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by Dr. Fritz & Dora Boehm\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nTimothy Chooi underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer and Dr. Fritz & Dora Boehm

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 & 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 – Haydn's The Creation
DESCRIPTION:“In the beginning…” Drawing on biblical texts from Genesis and the Psalms\, as well as John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost\, Haydn moulded his gloriously tuneful and optimistic oratorio The Creation.

Sung in English by a stellar cast of soloists and choristers\, this milestone musical work from the Age of Enlightenment continues to enthral audiences\, as joyful and life-affirming as a walk in a garden. \n\nSundays at the Royal Series underwritten by Jill Gibson and Sandra Lackenbauer\nConcert underwritten by Jade Gan\nChristian Kluxen underwritten by Sandra Lackenbauer\nAmanda Forsythe underwritten by Dr. M.
