Summer Festival at The Huntington: Concert 4 August 21, 2010

The 2010 Southwest Chamber Music Summer Festival at The Huntington resumes on the Loggia of The Huntington Art Gallery. This popular rite of summer will feature a major work on each weekend by prominent women composers Thea Musgrave, Gabriela Ortiz, Anne Le Baron and Alexandra du Bois. New this summer - patrons can bring their own picnic to enjoy on the lawn. Also available are pre-concert full service dinners in The Huntington Tea Room, available when concert tickets are purchased, making our festival a perfect way to spend a summer evening. These regularly sold-out concerts will take place on July 10, 11, 24, 25 and August 7, 8, 21, 22 at The Huntington in San Marino on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

~ Concert 4 ~ Alexandra du Bois, highlighted by L.A. Times critic Mark Swed as one of the “Faces to Watch in 2010,” is already well known to concert goers as one of the composers-in-residence for our "Ascending Dragon Music Festival" with Vietnam. This program surrounds her music with the genius of Schubert, Mozart, and Brahms. 'L’apothéose d’un rêve' by du Bois was composed for the farewell tour of the Beaux Arts Trio and received its world premiere at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Ending the summer is the Indian summer magic of the 'Trio, Op. 114' for clarinet, cello and piano by Johannes Brahms.
