Incarnation Episcopal Church 1750 29Th Avenue, San Francisco 415-564-2324 Sunsetarts.Wordpress.Com 1 Building Community through Music & Arts Incarnation Episcopal Church 1750 29th Avenue, San Francisco 415-564-2324 sunsetarts.wordpress.com 1 Dear Friends, Welcome to the Sunset Music & Arts 2018 season. Our 4th season is another ambitious season on the heels of a very successful 2017 season. We are extremely grateful to our audience members, artists, donors, and the many volunteers who help put together this upcoming season. We continue to focus on bringing high-quality live music programming and performing arts to the Sunset district of San Francisco, adding to the cultural milieu of San Francisco in these extremely challenging times. Some of the highlights of the new season include performances by both returning artists as well as many new artists. In 2018 we have an expanded instrumental series, a strong chamber music and vocal series, and an expanded Jazz/Folk series as well. We are especially proud to partner with our artists- in-residence, the San Francisco Renaissance Voices (director Katherine McKee) and other groups like the San Francisco Boys Chorus, the San Francisco Girls Chorus, and the Bay Shore Lyric Opera company. In addition to concerts we also continue with our community events with travelogues, student recitals, and workshops. In 2018 we are proud to collaborate with the Phoenix Recital Symposium of San Francisco (Professor Sylvia Anderson, General and Artistic Director), to showcase up and coming opera singers as they prepare for a career in opera. These are just some of the highlights of the season. Please take time to read about all of the extraordinary artists and offerings in this brochure and join us as at one or more of our events in 2018. We look forward to sharing the joy of these unique performances with you.

She has performed in prestigious concert venues throughout the world, from the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and Mozart’s Museum at Villa Bertramka in Prague to Alice Tully Hall in New York. Misuzu Tanaka is also a respected regular performer for Music from the Frederick Collection, a leading North-American venue for performance on historical instruments. Enjoying an active solo career in the U.S., she is among the country’s brightest emerging stars. Her recent debut album which was recorded live on the Concertant Classics label, “Misuzu Tanaka in Concert” features works by Leoš Janáček and J. S. Bach, two composers who have been a constant source of her musical inspiration. The 2017-18 season brings two new releases: a second piano recital in which she further explores music of Janáček as well as music by Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff, and a debut album “Epilogues” with clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov, which focuses on four clarinet sonatas, which are the last works of three leading composers – Johannes Brahms, Camille Saint-Saëns and Francis Poulenc. Her 2017-18 season includes an instant return engagement on the RIT Performing Artist Series (Rochester, NY) in addition to numerous other debut appearances. Highlights of the past seasons include a concerto debut at the Amadeus Festival (Whitefish, MT) with the Festival Orchestra under the direction of maestro John Zoltek as well as recitals at California State University Sacramento Piano Series, Distinguished Artists Lecture and Concert Series in Santa Cruz (CA), Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Chicago (IL), Pro Musica in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico), Chamber Music Society of Maryland and Ridgecrest Chamber Music Society (CA). An avid small-ensemble collaborator, Misuzu Tanaka has appeared with prominent artists including James Dunham (Cleveland Quartet) and members of the National Symphony Orchestra. In 2012, together with her artistic partner and critically acclaimed clarinetist Maksim Shtrykov, she began touring throughout the United States as the Shtrykov-Tanaka Duo. Born in London, United Kingdom where she began her piano lessons at the age of five, she then continued her studies in Japan and in the United States with Martin Canin at The Juilliard School. Her Masters and Doctoral degrees are from University of Michigan where she was a full scholarship recipient studying with Logan Skelton and devoted much time to the study and performance of the works of Leoš Janáček, which led to further studies with Miroslav Brejcha and the late Ivan Moravec in the Czech Republic.

  • 2016 – 2017 Season Marks Les Talens Lyriques' 25Th Anniversary
    2016 – 2017 season marks Les Talens Lyriques’ 25th anniversary Operas by Purcell, Cavalli, Charpentier, Salieri, Mozart, Handel & Monteverdi Culminating in his debut at London’s Royal Opera House for Mozart’s Mitridate in June next year, Christophe Rousset embarks on a rich season of opera with Les Talens Lyriques - from Purcell, Cavalli, Handel, Monteverdi and Mozart to forgotten masterpieces by Charpentier, Salieri and Pergolesi, to mark their 25th anniversary. From Israel to Italy, Spain to Lithuania, Rousset’s infectious enthusiasm for the baroque is in high demand. With Les Talens Lyriques at the Theater an der Wien, Rousset presents the modern premiere of Salieri’s Les Horaces in concert in October (also Versailles) and a new production of Purcell’s Fairy Queen by Mariame Clément in January. Further new productions include Pergolesi’s San Guglielmo d’Aquitania by Francesco Nappa in Iesi, Italy, Mozart’s Magic Flute in Dijon in a direction by David Lescot and Cavalli’s Calisto in Strasburg directed by Mariame Clement, following their success in Rameau’s Platée and Castor & Pollux six years ago. The revival of Pierre Audi’s Monteverdi Madrigals in Amsterdam continues to Brighton Festival as part of Les Talens Lyriques’ multiple visits to the UK this season. The season opens with an Italian tour to Pergolesi’s birthplace in Jesi for a new production of his oratorio San Guglielmo, Duca d’Aquitania, a quasi-opera replete with comic monk to be staged by Francesco Nappa on 9 and 11 September. Rousset also conducts Pergolesi’s masterpiece Stabat Mater coupled with Leo’s Salve Regina on 10 September at the Pergolesi Spontini Festival in Jesi.

Dear Friends, It is a great honor and joy for me to present Songfest 2005 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our third year of residence at this beautiful ocean-side Malibu campus, Songfest has grown to encompass an ever-widening circle of inspiration and achievement. Always focusing on the special relationship between singer and pianist, we have moved on from our unique emphasis on recognized masterworks of art song to exploring the varied and rich American Song. We are once again privileged to have John Harbison with us this summer. He has generously donated a commission to Songfest – Vocalism – to be premiered on the June 19 concert. Our singers and pianists will be previewing his new song cycle on poems by Milosz. Each time I read these beautiful poems, I am reminded why we love this music and how our lives are enriched. What an honor and unique opportunity this is for Songfest.
