Known for his eclectic and fascinating programs, conduc- tor and pianist David Greilsammer is recognized as one of the most audacious and adventurous artists in the classical world. Praised as a musician who is never afraid of taking risks on stage, he has created some of today’s most eclectic and dar- ing musical projects, winning distinctions from The New York Times, The Sunday Times, The French Music Awards, and many others. In addition to presenting groundbreaking performances ranging from Baroque to Contemporary music, David Greil- sammer has also been celebrated for his Mozart interpreta- tions. He has performed all of Mozart’s piano sonatas in a one-day “marathon” in Paris, and he has also played and con- ducted all of Mozart’s 27 piano concertos in one season. David Greilsammer’s albums, as pianist and conductor, have been released by Vanguard, Sony Classical, and Naïve, and have won numerous international prizes and awards. In the last few years, his recordings have received five distinc- tions from The New York Times, including one for Scarlatti: Cage:Sonatas, a bold solo recital that was selected among the ten most important events in the world of classical music. Since 2013, David Greilsammer has been Music and Artistic Director of the Geneva Camerata, one of the most innovative orchestras internationally. As guest conductor/soloist he has performed with the BBC Philharmonic, San Francisco Sym- phony, Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra, Hamburg Symphony, La Verdi Orchestra di Milano, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Beijing National Symphony, Hong Kong Sinfo- nietta, Mexico National Symphony, Jerusalem Symphony, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony. In the past few seasons, he has given solo recitals at the Wigmore Hall in London, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Mostly Mozart Festival in New 4 York, Kennedy Center in Washington, Verbier Festival, For- bidden City Theatre in Beijing, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, and the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie. Released by Naïve on a new album this season, his piano recital named Labyrinth has already been described by the international press as “ingenious,” “fascinating,” and “coura- geous.” This unusual solo program will also be performed on tour, throughout the USA, Europe, and Asia. For more information visit davidgreilsammer.com. ABOUT LABYRINTH Each one of us has been, at some point in life, lost, disorient- ed, or in search for a safe and luminous path. This sensation of compete disorientation, which has been felt by many of us during the pandemic, could quickly lead to inner chaos or even desperation. However, it could also serve as the extraor- dinary force that would eventually drive us to begin the quest for new routes and ideas, as well as for optimism and hope. Walking through the daunting sounds of Janáček’s emotional music, and exploring the secretive alleys of various enigmatic pieces, from 17th century Baroque, and all the way to music of our present day, I have decided to embark on a musical jour- ney to the heart of a strange and dazzling labyrinth. Inspired by an intense and very personal recurring dream, I felt the need to create a new and completely different kind of recit- al program. Soon, I also realized that in Greek mythology, a Labyrinth symbolized audacity, inner search, transforma- tion, and the possibility of experiencing unexpected encoun- ters in life. This discovery encouraged me to keep building this program, wishing to take the listener on an imaginary musical voyage, to the heart of the human soul and dreams. —David Greilsammer 5 All of us at San Francisco Performances extend our deep appreciation to our many patrons who have helped keep us going during the pandemic by donating to our Bridge to the Future Campaign. Your generous support has ensured that we will gather again and share many more transformative performances together for years to come. Thank you!

    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

  • BIOGRAPHY AVI AVITAL, Mandoline
    BIOGRAPHY AVI AVITAL, mandoline “Everything you never dreamt a mandolin could do… truly breathtaking in virtuosity and dedication.” Haaretz Daily The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, Avi Avital is one of the foremost ambassadors for his instrument. Passionate and “explosively charismatic” (New York Times) in live performance, he is a driving force behind the reinviGoration of the mandolin repertory. More than 90 contemporary compositions, 15 of them concertos, have been written for him, while his inspired re-imaGininGs of music for other instruments include the arrangements heard on his 2014 recording Between Worlds. Enhanced by his infectious spirit of adventure and the warm rapport he fosters with his audience, Avital’s championship of his instrument is taking the mandolin centre staGe. “The exciting part of being a classical mandolin player,” he says, “is that it opens a wide field for creative freedom. When I commission new pieces and engage with different musical styles, I feel that I am bringing to light new faces of this unique instrument, uncovering what is hiding there.” An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has made four recordings for the label including his ECHO Klassik Award-winninG Vivaldi (2015). Recently released Avital meets Avital (2017) with oud/bassist, Omer Avital, explores their shared cultural heritage and brings their differing classical and jazz musical backgrounds into dialogue. Earlier releases featured his own Bach concerto transcriptions (2012) and Between Worlds (2014), a cross-generic chamber collection exploring the nexus between classical and traditional music. He has also recorded for Naxos and SONY Classical winninG a first ECHO Klassik Award for his 2008 collaboration with the David Orlowsky Trio.

  • September 2016 – July 2017
    SEPTEMBER 2016 –JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction Frances Marshall Photography One of Britain’s foremost singers, Sarah Connolly, opens the Hall’s new season with regular duo partner Malcolm Martineau, leading listeners through a programme rich in emotional contrasts, poetic reflections and glorious melodies. The recital includes Mahler’s sublime Rückert Lieder, the impassioned lyricism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the exotic subtle narrative impressions of Debussy’s three Chansons de Bilitis, and a selection of Schumann songs. Mark Padmore’s vocal artistry and ability to extract every drop of emotion from poetic texts have secured his place among today’s finest recitalists. Morgan Szymanski, described by Classical Guitar magazine as ‘a player destined for future glories’ joins him on 12 September. Critical acclaim for Angela Hewitt’s Bach interpretations bears witness to the pianist’s extraordinary ability to connect physically and emotionally as well as intellectually with the dance rhythms and expressive gestures of the composer’s keyboard works. The Bach Odyssey will highlight all of this over the next four years. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan performs like a force of nature, captivating audiences with her artistry’s presence and expressive vitality. She joins the Calder Quartet, winner of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, for the world première of The sirens cycle by Peter Eötvös. Beethoven’s piano sonatas occupied forty years of his life. They offer insights into his development as artist and individual, and stand among the greatest of all his works. Igor Levit, now in his late 20s, drew critical superlatives to his debut recording of Beethoven’s late sonatas and has since established his reputation as a visionary interpreter of the composer’s music.

  • Daniel Hope Presents His Take on the Four Seasons at Gstaad
    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Daniel Hope presents his take on The Four Seasons at Gstaad ! ! Adrian Mourby Mon 31st March 2014 Vivaldi meets Max Richter in a festival that, elsewhere, focuses on forgotten music for the piano duo, writes Adrian !Mourby ‘I’ve never walked up an aisle playing before,’ says Daniel Hope at the end of rapturous applause that greeted the opening Sommets Musicaux concert in Gstaad. ‘But then it’s very unusual to play through several pieces without a break for applause – so the conductor had to find !some way to bring me on.’ January’s concert in Saanen Parish Church, a lofty wooden-roofed structure much loved by Yehudi Menuhin and Benjamin Britten, was subtitled ‘a musical journey’ by conductor David Greilsammer, director of the Geneva Camerata. The journey took no prisoners en route, plunging us from a Rameau overture into Uruk, a discordant evocation of the ancient Sumerian city by the young Swiss composer, Martin Jaggi. This in turn gave way to the warm tones of Mozart’s Lützow Piano Concerto with Greilsammer at the keyboard which then segued effortlessly into Max Richter’s recent ‘recomposition’ of The Four Seasons. With no breaks between pieces Daniel Hope was left to make his entrance – literally – from the back of the church. His walk had been well-timed because by the time Hope’s playing brought him up to the Geneva Camerata, Richter’s ‘recomposition’ had taken over from Vivaldi’s ‘Summer’ and we were into a frenzy of sound that was Vivaldi meets a hyperactive Arvo Pärt. ‘Winter’ gave way to a Vivaldi concerto for two violins (for which Hope just had time to switch bows) before we were back to Richter’s recomposition of 'Winter'.

He mixes baroque and contemporary side by side such as scheduling Scarlatti and Cage on the same program or perf orming in unusual places like the Geneva Airport or the Geneva’s “Usine” (which normally hosts Rock and Electronic music events). His latest and boldest initiative has been to secure support f or the Geneva Camerata, a new ensemble where he has selected each player with the goal of broadening and mixing repertories and styles. In these days when art f unding can be in limited supply and where artists stil tend to believe that everything is secondary to the preparation f or them to perf orm, one has to admire the chutzpah this represents.
