 “Classically trained but keenly attuned to the possibilities of electronica, composer Mason Bates is making waves in both the club scene and the orchestra world,” states Symphony magazine. And according to the Boston Herald, "Matt Haimovitz may be the coolest cellist of our time." And so tonight, two mavericks will come together with a common conception about how a classical recital can be quite an uncommon experience. Haimovitz will present a solo cello recital including works by Ned Rorem, Osvaldo Golijov, David Sanford, and Gilles Tremblay; while Mason Bates (a.k.a. DJ Masonic) will create an electronica soundscape between pieces. Introduced during this Cabrillo Festival experience, two brilliant talents—Haimovitz and Bates—will come together for the very first time for an evening that promises to surprise and delight our musical senses.
