Salastina
Sounds Promising
7:30pm, Saturday, May 11
Community Room at the South Pasadena Public LibraryThis concert includes world premieres by 2021 Sounds Promising Young Composer Kian Ravaei and 2023 participant Celina Anna Kintscher. Both composers have penned a piece for our entire ensemble – piano, string quartet, and flute – taking inspiration from the monumental Chaconne by Bach. Resident Pianist HyeJin Kim opens the program with Busoni’s equally monumental arrangement of the same work.
Each year, Salastina selects up to 10 young composers worldwide to take part in its Sounds Promising Young Composers Program. The program is zero-cost for all participants, and has resulted in “life-changing” (their words, not ours!) professional development – and even high-profile commissions.
Program:
- Johann Sebastian Bach, arr. Ferrucio Busoni: Chaconne
- Kian Ravaei: One Flesh (World Premiere)
- Celina Anna Kintscher: Darkness, and an Angel (World Premiere)
Meetup: Wine and munchies reception to follow the concert. Stick around and meet the Salastina musicians and the composers - they love to chat with the audience after each performance.
Tickets: $40 ($10 for students). Purchase online and find more information on the Salastina website: Salastina - May 11.
