Description:

Bartók’s dark and eerily beautiful Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta begins with a spellbinding fugue followed by a vivacious dance and mystical nocturne, and ends with an exuberant parade. Fellow countryman Kodály brings a contrasting sound of modernism from small town Galántaâ€Â”one that is fiery and passionate, and infused with the vibrant flavors and rhythms of gypsy music.
Berkeley Symphony concludes the season with a look towards the future by unveiling the first installment of a newly commissioned work by award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank. Inspired by women of the past and present, the work features text by celebrated Portuguese poet José Tolentino de Mendonça, and is enlivened by the luminous soprano Jessica Rivera in an exciting collaboration with the San Francisco Girls Chorus.
