Los Angeles Chamber Orchestras Westside Chamber Series opens with Strings for the Ages, a genre-spanning program highlighting quintessential works from each classical music period, from the Baroque era to the 20th Century, on Saturday, January 8, 2022, 8 pm, at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica. Led by Director of Chamber Music and Concertmaster Margaret Batjer, the program features five works, including Brittens Simple Symphony Op.4, which premiered in 1934 and is based on material the composer wrote between the ages of nine and twelve; and Corellis joyful Concerto Grosso in D Major Op. 6, No. 4, composed circa 1712 and considered a key work in the baroque instrumental music canon. LACO also performs Arvo Prts Summa for String Orchestra, originally written in 1978 as an a cappella vocal work inspired by Medieval chant and Renaissance polyphony in a style the Estonian composer calls tintinnabulation. The program concludes with Geminianis Concerto Grosso in D Major Op.5, No 1 (after Corellis Sonata Op.5, No.1), a work inspired by Corelli, Geminianis teacher; and Griegs beloved Holberg Suite for String Orchestra, a five-movement French baroque dance suite composed for piano in 1884 and re-orchestrated for string orchestra in 1885 that blends traditional baroque structure with the lush romantic sound of the era.Batjer, lauded for her gleaming warmth (Los Angeles Times), high-flying performances and ability to make her instrument purr and soarwith an engrossing combination of intensity and technical fluency (San Francisco Classical Voice), is downright exciting to watch and hear (Violinist.com). She has served as concertmaster of Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 1998, which has featured her on numerous world premieres and CDs, including a Deutsche Grammophon recording of Bachs Concerto for Two Violins with violinist Hilary Hahn.Discounted tickets are also available by phone for seniors 65 years of age and older and for students.
