Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Vasily Petrenko Music Director
Olga Kern piano

As the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates its 75th anniversary, its mission remains to enrich lives through orchestral experiences that are uncompromising in their excellence and inclusive in their appeal. This season the RPO is thrilled to welcome its new Music Director, dynamic young maestro Vasily Petrenko—Artistic Director of the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia, and Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. And CAMA celebrates the return of Russian-American pianist Olga Kern, now recognized as one of her generation’s great artists. Having jumpstarted her U.S. career with an historic Gold Medal at the 2001 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition—the first woman to do so in more than thirty years—she was also first prize winner of the Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition at age seventeen.

BRITTEN: Four Sea Interludes, Op.33a, from Peter Grimes
TCHAIKOVSKY: Piano Concerto No.1 in B‑flat Major, Op.23

English Baroque Soloists

John Eliot Gardiner conductor
Kati Debretzeni violinFanny Paccoud viola

Almost inexcusably absent from the pantheon of great conductors appearing in Santa Barbara during CAMA’s long history, John Eliot Gardiner will at last grace the Granada stage directing the English Baroque Soloists, the preeminent period-instrument chamber ensemble founded by the maestro himself in 1978. Arguably the foremost living interpreter of 17th‑ and 18th‑century choral and orchestral repertoire, John Eliot Gardiner is also the Founder and Director of the Monteverdi Choir and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique. With these and other ensembles, he has recorded more than 250 albums; among them are benchmark recordings of the Monteverdi Vespers and Bach B‑minor Mass, the complete Beethoven symphony cycle on period instruments, and each and every Bach sacred cantata. In his spare time, the prodigious maestro runs an organic farm at Springhead near Fontmell Magna in North Dorset.

PROGRAM:

HAYDN: Symphony No.103 in E‑flat Major, “The Drumroll,” H.1/103
MOZART: Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E‑flat Major, K.364 (320d)
MOZART: Symphony No.39 in E‑flat Major, K.543
