November and December ’16 shows
Fall is upon us. I’m looking forward to making music with many friends in the coming weeks. I will include a full calendar of dates at the end of this post, but first, some events and projects warrant some extra description.
Musical Art Quintet is releasing our new album, Chamber con Alma, this Friday, November 18th. There’s a lot of great original tunes and arrangements by Sascha Jacobsen, and I’m lucky enough to have my tune, “The Long Approach,” on the album. We will play the first set of Classical Revolution’s 10th anniversary concert at Grace Cathedral. Also on the program is Beethoven’s ninth symphony. Yea!
I’m playing 2 concerts with the Point Richmond Jazz series, one with Kit Eakle’s Django Sphere 11/25 and later with Cosa Nostra 11/26. Both concerts are the Point Richmond United Methodist Church, which is one of my favorite sounding rooms in the whole Bay Area.
December 4th, the Town Quartet is playing a concert at the classic Berkeley venue, the Starry Plough, at 4pm. The program is
Bloch “In the Mountains”
Boursiquot “Harmonic Revelations
Patzner Short Quartets 5 & 6
Pleyel Quartet dedicated to the prince of Wales, number 4.
Prokofiev String Quartet 1
Reicha Quartet in C Minor, op 49 no 1
In no particular order.
Also, thanks to everyone who attended and participated in the CAPO show yesterday. Very special!
