BAR LA BARCA, a unique double bill of “madrigal comedies” written 400 years apart will be performed by the Western Wind Vocal Ensemble at Brooklyn’s BARGEMUSIC at Fulton Ferry Landing.
La Barca by Adriano Banchieri is one of the key works of early music theater that preceded opera, a raucous, rollicking work that takes place on the ferryboat connecting the island republic of Venice with Padova on the mainland. It is all in the witty, bawdy and elegant spirit of late Renaissance Venice.
Commissioned as a companion piece by the Western Wind, Jukebox has a libretto by Valeria Vasilevski who also directs; the character-filled a capella score is by Eric Salzman.
Tickets: Regular: $40, Senior: $35, Student: $20 |

From Teatro Comunale di Bologna, 2008 (200 min)
Splendidly staged and performed, I Puritani is a powerful story of love between Elvira and Arturo amidst the English civil war of the 1640s. Elvira's hand has been promised to Sir Richard Forth, whom she does not love. Instead, she is madly in love with Arturo Talbo. Realizing his niece's sadness, Sir Giorgio convinces her father, Lord Gualtiero, to allow her to marry Arturo. At the wedding celebration, Arturo discovers that Queen Enrichetta is a prisoner in the castle. By covering the queen in a wedding veil, Arturo helps the Queen escape from the castle. Meanwhile, Elvira thinks that she has been abandoned. In the end, Arturo and Elvira are reunited to live in bliss.

From its birth in San Francisco’s swanky Bruno’s nightclub, the nine-piece Orchestra Nostalgico has garnered rave reviews for its eclectic and jazzy interpretations of the classic cinematic compositions of Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone of ‘Spaghetti Western’ fame and the swinging ‘spy music’ of John Barry. Their big band sound is deliciously retro, yet decidedly modern, delivering a jaunty angle on this timeless film music. |

Osvaldo GOLIJOV
Last Round
A tribute to the great Astor Piazzolla, Last Round is a “sublimated tango dance. Two quartets confront each other. The bows fly in the air as inverted legs in criss-crossed choreography, always attracting and repelling each other, always in danger of clashing, always avoiding it with the immutability that can only be acquired by transforming hot passion into pure pattern.” ~Golijov
Superstar Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov is the Composer-in-Residence at the Chicago Symphony and holds the first appointed Composer-in-Residence position at New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival. |

Festival Chamber Players
Igor STRAVINSKY
Octet for Winds
Max BRUCH
Octet for Strings
This special Encounter presents music that was written while W.R. Hearst was in residence at Hearst Castle (1919-1947), a rich and important period in classical music. Inspired by a beautiful dream, Stravinsky’s Octet for Winds (1923) returned to the musical forms of bygone eras in a neoclassical style. Like Hearst Castle itself, the work combines the visionary (tonality and instrumentation) with tradition (European musical architecture). The lushly beautiful Octet for Strings (1920) by Max Bruch harkens back to the Romanticism of Brahms. Enjoy sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, award-winning wines from Tablas Creek Vineyard and a Pacific sunset on the Neptune Terrace before the intimate presentation of these engaging works of the early 20th century. |

Combine the pizzazz of Damon Runyon’s now-legendary characters with a dazzling score by Frank Loesser and a brilliant book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows: the result is Guys and Dolls – A Musical Fable of Broadway, one of America’s greatest musicals and winner of 15 Tonys since its 1951 premiere. The same creative team behind last summer’s spectacular Les Misérables joins forces with Tony-winner Donna McKechnie as choreographer to bring this timeless classic to life as the Bowl’s annual fully staged musical. |
