Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Presents Ives, Montgomery + Beethoven
Sunday, April 23, 2023, 7 pm, Alex Theatre, 216 North Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s Orchestral series continues with Jaime Martín leading Jessie Montgomery’s L.E.S. Characters Viola Concerto, a LACO co-commission written for and featuring Grammy Award-winning violist Masumi Per Rostad, who has been praised for his “burnished sound” (The New York Times). The concerto was co-commissioned by the Grant Park Music Festival, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, CityMusic Cleveland, Interlochen Center for the Arts and LACO. Montgomery’s work, described as “exploding with life” (The Washington Post), skillfully weaves classical music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, language and social justice. The program is bookended by Ives’ Pulitzer Prize-winning Symphony No. 3, "The Camp Meeting," and Beethoven’s joyful Symphony No. 6 in F Major, “Pastoral.”
