HANNAH KENDALL: The Spark Catchers

PROKOFIEV: Piano Concerto No. 2

RACHMANINOFF: Symphonic Dances

Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances looks both backwards and forwards, blending the endless melodies of his Romantic style with stark moments of modernity and whispers of jazz. It was his final work. The score to Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 was lost in the Russian Revolution, but Prokofiev rewrote it from memory, restoring one of the most virtuosic works ever composed for piano. Hannah Kendall’s The SparkCatchers is filled with joy, ferocity, and sorrow as it depicts the women who worked in match factories in 19th-century Britain.

BEN JOHNSTON – Somewhere I Have Never Traveled (1949)
Two new works from the SFCM Technology & Applied Composition Program (2022, *world premiere)
BEN JOHNSTON – Sonata for Microtonal Piano (1964)
UNSUK CHIN – Cosmigimmicks (2011-2012)
SKY MACKLAY – Microvariations (rev. 2017)

The parameter of fixed pitch becomes a fluid concept in a program that surveys different tuning systems and their juxtapositions with each other, and emerging composers from SF Conservatory’s Technology and Applied Composition Program respond with new works seeking innovative approaches to pitch. Pieces by American mavericks Ben Johnston and Sky Macklay inhabit the ‘notes between the notes’ and alter our perceptions of how certain instruments are supposed to sound, while Korean-born composer Unsuk Chin further disguises instrumental identities in a musical exploration of pantomime.
