Two Concerts of Chamber Music in One Weekend Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project Concerts on February 8 and 9 Feature Players FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contacts: Angie Bertucci | 805.679.6010 | [email protected] Julia McHugh | 805.569.3303 | [email protected] Tickets: Lobero Box Office | 805.963.0761 | Lobero.org Hi resolution images available at Lobero.org/press Two Concerts of Chamber Music in One Weekend Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project Concerts on February 8 and 9 Feature Players and Programs Hand-Picked by Heiichiro Ohyama Ohyama and Top International Players Perform Ambitious Programs in Intimate Setting of Lobero Theatre Santa Barbara, CA, January 9, 2020 – The new Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project presents two concerts in one weekend featuring top international performers and ambitious musical selections. Lobero LIVE presents this new collaboration with Maestro Heiichiro Ohyama who hand-picked the players and curated programs. Also a celebrated violist, he performs in the two concerts, held Saturday, February 8 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, February 9 at 4 p.m. Local audiences know Ohyama in his past role as Music Director and Conductor of the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra. As Artistic and Music Director of this new Lobero Chamber Music Project, he selected violinist Benjamin Beilman as Musical Advisor to aid in the creation of the new series. The other players are internationally renowned artists who have active solo, ensemble, and teaching careers, including former members of the Tokyo String Quartet and of the Beaux Arts Trio. "Heiichiro has successfully started several chamber music festivals and series by focusing on two major factors: top caliber musicians and legendary pieces," said Beilman. "The artists all have had rewarding musical experiences together, so we have an innate understanding of each other. So, we decided to start with key repertoire that is meaningful to us on stage and to our relationship with the audience, hopefully whetting an appetite for future concerts." Tickets for the Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project are on sale now at Lobero.org, or by calling the Lobero Box Office at 805.963.0761. Tickets are $106 for VIP, $46 for section A, with student and senior tickets available for $26. Prices include $6 facility fee; other fees may also apply. Valid Student ID required for student ticket purchase. About the Saturday, February 8 Program: Beilman performs in two works on the February 8 program, including Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Violins in C major, Op. 56, with violinist Ida Kavafian, his teacher at the Curtis Institute and a former member of the Beaux Arts Trio. It was composed while Prokofiev was visiting Paris in 1932 for the first concert of Tritone, a musical society he directed with composers Milhaud, Honegger and Poulenc. Beilman and Ohyama are joined by pianist Louis Schwizgebel and cellist Clive Greensmith (14-year member of the Tokyo String Quartet) for in Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25. The Brahms is known for its rollicking finale, which sounds like music from Hungarian café played by an ensemble of virtuoso soloists. Beethoven's Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 16a is performed by Schwizgebel, Kavafian, Ohyama, and Greensmith. Written in 1796, early in Beethoven's career, it was intended to show off his skills as a pianist. It features elaborate and virtuosic piano writing and two opportunities for cadenzas. About the Sunday, February 9 Program: The players reunite, with Kavafian on violin, to perform another chamber music piece by Brahms, his Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34. Beilman describes it as, "brooding in a wonderful way, and both passionate and thrilling for the audience." Kavafian and Schwizgebel also play Beethoven's Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 in A Major, Op. 12 No. 2. Also written early in his career, in 1797-98, this violin sonata shows the young, witty, and musically elegant Beethoven who charmed the aristocracy of Vienna. Beilman and Greensmith perform Kodály's Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7, one of the most demanding works from the string literature. Two instruments are used to sound like everything from Hungarian village string band to a full orchestra. Biographies: Heiichiro Ohyama, Artistic and Music Director, Viola Born in Kyoto, Ohyama won the Music Competition of Japan in 1966. He graduated from London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1970 and continued his studies at Indiana University.

Benjamin Beilman, Musical Advisor, Violin Born in 1989, American violinist Benjamin Beilman is winning plaudits across the globe for his compelling and impassioned performances, his deep rich tone and searing lyricism. The Scotsman has described him as, “a remarkable talent, delivering playing of rare insight and generosity, as captivating as it is gloriously entertaining,” and the New York Times has praised his, “handsome technique, burnished sound, and quiet confidence [which] showed why he has come so far so fast.” Beilman plays the “Engleman” Stradivarius from 1709 on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation. Louis Schwizgebel, Piano Louis Schwizgebel has been described as, “a genuine virtuoso, a spirited young genius with real depth” (Fono Forum) and an, “insightful musician.” (New York Times) He is praised repeatedly for his poise, elegance, imagination, expressive lyricism and crystalline articulation.

Chamber music is the essence of music itself; timeless yet ephemeral, grand in scope yet intimate in scale. It is this balance of technical skill and artistic elegance that has compelled audiences for hundreds of years. Lobero LIVE is proud to present a series comprised of three distinctive performances celebrated and hand-selected soloists. The Lobero Theatre Chamber Music Project is imbued with the spirit of camaraderie and continues a tradition of chamber music performances of the highest quality at the Lobero Theatre. Each concert features a hand-picked group of top international soloists performing repertoire that defines this dynamic and intimate genre. “For many years of Tuesday nights at the Lobero, Heiichiro Ohyama enriched Santa Barbara's classical cultural life, as the quietly impassioned maestro of the Santa Barbara chamber orchestra–Santa Barbara's "other" orchestra, the little-ish orchestra that could. SBCO's absence in recent years has left a still-palpable gap in our civic musical calendar. The bold new Lobero Chamber Music Project, spearheaded by Ohyama, is great news, indeed, for music lovers and the greater cultural good in the 805.” –Josef Woodard, contributor to the Santa Barbara News-Press, Independent, Los Angeles Times, etc.

  • A 2014 Summer Guide
    AFESTIVAL 2014 Summer GuideS April 2014 Editor’s Note With this Special Report, we are returning to a timehonored Musical America tradition of previewing summer festivals. We’re taking a slightly different approach than in the past: the information has been provided by the festivals themselves, as submitted in answers to questionnaires we emailed to our list, culled mostly from the North American and International Festival Listings in the 2014 Musical America Directory. In addition to our request for dates, contacts, and ticket-price ranges, we asked about the coming season’s highlights, which, having poured over them all, I can say with confidence point to a robust summer season for classical music. We edited for space only; otherwise, wherever possible, we left respondents’ answers intact. You’ll note that there are a few TBAs from festivals that assemble their schedules relatively late in the game. We will 2014 Summer add them to MusicalAmerica.com as they arrive. We launch the issue with a three-way interview led by our Chicago-based correspondent Wynne Delacoma, between Martin T:son [yes, that’s how it’s spelled] Engstroem, founder and executive director of the Verbier Festival in Switzerland, and Alan Fletcher, president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School in Colorado. We chose these two because their respective operations have so much in common—both are professional presenters and at the FESTIVALS same time training programs for young artists, both have turned seasonal ski results into thriving, year-round tourist destinations. Our next Special Report, in June, will be devoted to music publishing.

    FEATURE ARTICLE Summer Music Programs for Grown-ups A Few Musical Meccas Festivals A 2016 Guide April 2016 Editor’s Note What is your ideal summer pasttime? Surfing in Hawaii? Biking the Dalmatian Coast? Trekking across the Cotswolds? Enticing for some, no doubt, but for others, the optimum vacation is singing in Sonoma, playing the clarinet in Baltimore, or being part of a lakeside chamber ensemble in Ontario. Our feature story in this, our third annual Festivals Guide, outlines a number of summer music programs that enable individuals to practice a favorite avocation, make friends, and, in many cases, enjoy the scenery. At the Tuscany Project, you can join a gospel choir while spending a week on the Greek Island of Kefalonia, among other of the Project’s locations; or pull your flute out of moth balls and head to Baltimore for the BSO Academy, where you’ll get to coach under as well as play with Baltimore Symphony musicians; Scor! String Camps pop up in several locations around the U.S.; in Canada, Lake Field Music offers workshops and lesson in voice and an array of instruments across a variety of genres; and Berkshire Choral International brings major choral Festivals conductors in to preside over week-long sing-ins of classic repertoire in both national and international locations.
