SUMMARY:Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Nathalie Stutzmann\, music director Bach and Friends
DESCRIPTION:1685 was a banner year. Two little boys were born in Germany\, about 100 miles apart. One is among the world’s most influential composers. The other wrote Messiah. Six hundred miles to the south\, a third boy was learning the violin. Today\, they dominate western music written before the arrival of Mozart. \nEach year\, around the world\, professional and community choirs—as well as many intrepid audience members—gather to sing George Frideric Handel’s massive oratorio written on the life of Christ. On YouTube\, a single video of Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has over 248 million views. And\, thanks to NASA’s Voyager mission\, two pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach are hurtling through interstellar space at over 38\,000 miles per hour. \nOf the three\, Bach was the least traveled. He lived his life in central Germany. Twice he hoped to meet Handel\, but their schedules never aligned. He encountered Vivaldi through a book of Italian concertos and was so impressed he made keyboard transcriptions of them. (For many years\, Bach’s transcriptions served as a tether between Vivaldi\, who was largely forgotten\, and oblivion.) Vivaldi became a jumping-off point for Bach as he wrote concertos of his own. \nProbably\, Handel and Vivaldi did meet. In his early twenties\, Handel traveled to Italy\, learning the language\, learning to imitate Italian music\, and readying himself for a brilliant career in Great Britain. \nProgram to consist of selections from Bach\, Vivaldi\, and Handel. \nPlease Note: This concert will be performed without intermission. Approximate concert length is 80 minutes. \n\n\nPre-performance talk in Ramsey Concert Hall at 2:15 pm (free admission).  \n\n\n  \n\nFree shuttle transportation to this performance is available for Clarke County seniors\, thanks to a partnership between the Performing Arts Center and the Athens Community Council on Aging.

SUMMARY:Curtis on Tour Eric Owens\, bass-baritone Singers from Curtis Opera Theatre
DESCRIPTION:“His powerful voice\, with its earthy textures and resonant sound\, is ideal.”—New York Times \nWhat do Hercules\, Porgy\, and the Norse god Wotan have in common?

A frequent star of the Metropolitan Opera\, he’s sharing the stage with students from the Curtis Institute\, where he serves as director of vocal studies and the Curtis Opera Theatre. The quartet will perform gems from the lieder and song repertoire—anchored by Brahms’s lilting and pensive Neue Liebeslieder waltzes for four voices and four-hand piano\, followed by operatic arias\, ensemble pieces\, and bittersweet Broadway numbers. \nCurtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn Global Touring Initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music.

SUMMARY:Payne Memorial Concert Harlem Quartet
DESCRIPTION:“The Harlem Quartet takes the whole universe of music as their domain.”—San Diego Union-Tribune \nHarlem Quartet has been praised for its “panache” (New York Times) and for “bringing a new attitude to classical music\, one that is fresh\, bracing\, and intelligent” (Cincinnati Enquirer). The quartet advances diversity in classical music\, engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire that includes works by composers of color. Their program culminates in one of the most beloved string quartets — by Claude Debussy — after a set that ranges from bittersweet rags to a familiar jazz standard. \nDue to illness\, Jaime Amador will not perform. Paul Laraia of the Catalyst String Quartet will take his place.  \nPre-performance talk in Ramsey Concert Hall at 2:15 pm (free admission) \n\n\nPayne Memorial Concert \n\n\nThe Payne Memorial Concert is named in honor of Dr. William Jackson “Jack” Payne\, former Dean of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences\, who founded the Franklin College Chamber Music Series in 1978. Dean Payne had a great love of the arts and his wish was that the college should make a significant contribution to the cultural life of both the University and the Athens community through the chamber music series. In honor of his efforts\, the Payne Memorial Concert is presented free to the public once each season.
