Artists come to the Cabrillo Festival to challenge themselves and play at the top of their game; and audiences come with open minds and open ears to listen, learn, and celebrate with a shared spirit of adventure. It is that confluence of passions, excitement and artistic excellence, that makes one season more remarkable than the next. 2013 is no exception, as Music Director Marin Alsop presents a program of works by thirteen composers whose voices reflect a broad spectrum of the human experience and the times in which we live. Ten composers will be in residence, some familiar and beloved by Festival audiences, others new and waiting to be embraced. We’ll present two world premiere commissions–one by 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winner Kevin Puts for British flute virtuoso Adam Walker, who will make his American solo debut; and another by Sean Friar, the latest in a series of emerging composers selected in a collaboration with composer John Adams to spotlight the best of the next generation. Two U.S. premieres–by Australian Brett Dean and the iconic Philip Glass, and two West Coast premieres–by Christopher Rouse and George Walker, will help keep the Cabrillo Festival a magnet not just for new music enthusiasts but for the culturally and intellectually curious as well. We’ll welcome back superstars of the classical music scene, Kronos Quartet, as soloists in an orchestral work by famed movie composer Thomas Newman; as well in their own solo concert celebrating their 40th anniversary. German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser will make his Festival debut in Mexican composer Enrico Chapela’s Magnetar; and we’ll present the U.S. debut of a charismatic Swedish clarinetist who came to world attention in 2012 when he performed at the Nobel Prize ceremonies. Emil Jonason will be soloist in Magnus Lindberg’s acclaimed Clarinet Concerto that, along with Anna Clyne’s Night Ferry, promises to make the Grand Finale concerts in the sanctuary of Mission San Juan Bautista like sitting within the ultimate music box. Cabrillo Festival opens the doors to the here and now of contemporary music for orchestra, and you’re invited to read on about how it all unfolds. Join us this summer.
