A MINUTE WITH THE MAESTRO!
Listen to our Music Director Grant Gershon talk a little about this upcoming concert
The Walt Disney Concert Hall pipe organ has 6,134 pipes ranging in size from a pencil to a telephone pole! With a dynamic range for whispering pianississimos to breathtaking fortississimos, this extravagant concert ebbs and flows in waves of sound--cresting with the magnitude of full chorus and organ in Arvo Part's De Profundis, and retreating with intimate moments of a cappella reflection with Bruckner motets. The fresh poetic landscapes of the West Coast premiere of musical wunderkind Nico Muhly's Expecting the Main Things from You, for organ and string quartet, and the world premiere of Dream Variations by Andrea Clearfield, written for and performed by the Debussy Trio and organ, will transport the audience from the quietest pause to the grandest flourish. It promises to amaze and inspire.
