Treasure every meeting for it will never recur · Ichi-go, Ichi-e (Japanese expression)
Music Director Marin Alsop’s special gift is
understanding fully the power of the Festival’s purpose and place, and
curating for us the experience of a lifetime. Every concert and every
Festival season is unique, with a confluence of events, personalities,
and musical passages that create memories to treasure. 2008 builds on
all the brilliant seasons that have come before—relationships
carefully fostered, an orchestra at the top of its game, audiences and
musicians clamoring to join, and a sense of adventure in the midst of a
surprisingly familial and comfortable setting. The season ahead
promises more “once-in-a-lifetimes” than ever before, when five World
Premieres, three U.S. Premieres, and five West Coast Premieres are
presented by the Maestra and her orchestra, with twelve
composers-in-residence, and a cast of extraordinary soloists including
cellist Matt Haimovitz, clarinetist Bharat Chandra, and the remarkable percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie! One moment, one chance. Ichi-go, Ichi-e! Don’t miss our 46th anniversary season!
"Exciting music, excitingly performed; from Alsop you expect nothing else." —The Times (London)
