ONLY IN LOS ANGELES
Where else will you find a concert series
that takes you to ocean liners, mansions,
landmark churches and movie palaces,
award-winning 21st-century homes and
the Zoo to hear outstanding performances
ranging from Bach and the 17th-century
German masters from whom he learned
his art to John Cage and Philip Glass; from
Spanish baroque zarzuela to Chinese folk
songs; from Renaissance Venice to early
America.
Join me as we celebrate the uniquely
variegated place that is Southern California.
We’ll coax the soul out of buildings old and
new by filling them with music especially
suited to their design and performed by
fresh young talent, mature artists and
ensembles at the peak of their careers —
along with a most impressive array of
performers rightly regarded as legends,
including clarinetist Richard Stoltzman,
pianist Menahem Pressler, the Paris Piano
Trio, Anonymous 4, the Borodin Quartet,
violinist Monica Huggett, and the American
String Quartet.
Have fun looking through this brochure –
and then join us for the real thing. I look
forward to sharing these unique experiences
with you!
Kelly Garrison, General Director
Connect & Savor
Chamber music is a social art. Adding to the
concert experience is a sense of society our intimate salon concerts link artists and
audience in ways not possible in a concert
hall. Many concerts also include receptions
where you meet the artists, the architects and each other.
Moveable Musical Feast
In architecture ranging the gamut from the
Romanesque-inspired Wilshire Christian
Church to the Braque-inspired façade of the
newly built Residence for a Briard; from a
turn of the last century Altadena estate to
a spectacular hillside Simi Valley home by
way of John Lautner’s Silverlake masterpiece
“Silvertop”; from a stunning Italianate garden
to the still-amazing Bradbury Building; each
environment is as brilliant as the music it
will host.
New This Season
New this season are three innovative series
to choose from: our spicy new Piccante
series matches adventurous repertoire to
unique sites for an unforgettable concert
experience; the Beethoven Cycle is the
first half of a two-year exploration of
the complete Beethoven string quartets
performed in elegant salons and ballrooms;
and Antiqua is an early music voyage of
discovery through our own magnificent
City Hall.
Explore & Discover
Matching music and place, our concerts
will take you to the American frontier,
16th-century England, and a 19th-century
Viennese palace greenhouse. You’ll also
rediscover the colorful landmarks, iconic
images and living traditions right here in
Southern California through unique
walking and driving tours and additional
neighborhood activities.

Richard Stoltzman, clarinet
Menahem Pressler, piano
In a brilliant opening to our 36th season of
Doheny Soirées, “the world’s most phenomenal
clarinetist” (The Boston Globe) joins “the
greatest chamber music pianist on this or any
other planet” (Worcester Telegram & Gazette)
beneath the Pompeian Room’s gold Tiffany dome
in a program of works by Schubert (Sonatina in D,
D. 384), Berg (Four Pieces, Op. 5) and Brahms
(Sonata in f, Op. 120/1). Experience the
combination of Stoltzman’s “breathtaking beauty
of tone, flawless intonation and rhythmic
flexibility” (The New York Times) and Pressler’s
“magisterial rightness” (The New York Observer)
– an unforgettable season-opening Soirée!
1 NOVEMBER 2008
Paris Piano Trio
Now at the summit of their
legendary solo careers, these three
remarkable musicians have played
chamber music together since
their student days at the Paris
Conservatory. Dubbed “the soughtafter ideal in chamber music” (Ouest France), their artistry and
authentic Gallic sensibility illumines trios by Fauré (in d, Op. 120) and
Ravel along with the virtuosity and passion of Rachmaninov (No. 2
in d, Op. 9, “Elégiaque”). “Polish, vigor and an exemplary sense of
style” (Washington Post).
31 JANUARY 2009
Borodin Quartet
Founded in 1945, and acknowledged by
the Guinness Book of World Records as
the world’s longest-lived string quartet,
the Borodin Quartet commands a
special position of respect in the
chamber music world. Bringing its
unique sense of history and style to L.A.’s most elegant salon,
they’ll perform an all-Russian program including quartets by their
namesake Borodin (No. 1) and their early mentor Shostakovich
(No. 7), who personally coached the Quartet in the performance of
his music. “...spiritual performances brimming over with soul-baring
of the most direct and honest type” (Detroit Free Press).
Praised for “...a freshness and
spontaneity that sparkle in
everything they play” (The Strad),
this brilliant German ensemble is
active on the international festival
and concert scene with numerous
highly-praised recordings to their
credit. Their “verve, drive and
imagination ... in plenty” (The Strad) is displayed in a program of
quartets by Beethoven (in E-flat, Op. 16), a youthful Mendelssohn
(in b, Opus 3, dedicated to Goethe), and Brahms (in g, Op. 25, with
its thrilling Rondo alla Zingarese final movement). “...one can only
marvel that such beauty is possible” (The Ottawa Citizen). An ideal
Valentine’s evening!
18 APRIL 2009
Shanghai Quartet
Hailed as “a foursome of uncommon
refinement and musical distinction”
(The Strad), the Shanghai Quartet,
celebrating its 25th anniversary season,
melds the delicacy of Eastern music with
the power of Western repertoire, from
traditional Chinese folk music to the
most challenging classical works. They’ll
return to the Pompeian Room lending their customary “passionate
playing – driven, elegant and nuanced” (The New York Times) to
quartets of Mozart (in d, K. 421) and Debussy, and enchant with
selections from Yi-Wen Jiang’s ChinaSong.
This Concert is Sponsored by Leonard Beck & Laurel Vest Funk.
16 MAY 2009
Colorado Quartet,
with Thomas Gallant, oboe
In our final Doheny Soirée of the
season, amid the Pompeian Room’s
romantic elegance, a multi prizewinning quartet in its 25th
anniversary season brings its
“amazing mix of individual and
ensemble musicianship” (The
Seattle Times) to quartets of
Haydn (in F, Op. 50/5) and Schubert (the heartfelt
and intensely lyrical “Death and the Maiden”).
Joined by an oboist “who unites technical mastery
with intentness, charm and wit” (The New Yorker),
they’ll explore the varied colors and moods of
works by Mozart (Oboe Quartet in F, K. 370) and
Boccherini (Quintet in C, Op. 45/1).
This Concert is Cosponsored by Patricia A. Ingram.

(Book One), one of the monuments of Western
music. Currently Music Director of the Academy of
Ancient Music, Egarr is also a Grammy-nominated
performer, and in his recent recording of this iconic
keyboard collection, Egarr makes his “...instrument
sing with theatrical gusto” (Los Angeles Times).
Encountering this music afresh and up close, expertly
performed by an early music virtuoso is “...enough
to send specialists and lay listeners alike into giddy
shivers of delight” (Louisville Courier-Journal) – a

A whimsical façade evoking a Braque painting (Aria

residence which serves as the setting for a Da
Camera first: a toy piano in concert! Having recently
made her Carnegie Hall debut on both traditional
and toy piano, award winning pianist Phyllis Chen,
whom André Watts has called “fascinating and
compelling, both on stage and off”, first
encountered the toy piano in 2001 and immediately
fell in love. Since then she has collected several of
the instruments, toured widely with them, and
worked to enlarge their repertoire. She’ll bring a
sampling of her collection and juxtapose tantalizing
works for toy piano such as Andrian Pertout’s
Exposiciones (for Toy Piano & CD), Julia Wolfe’s East
Broadway (for toy piano & toy boombox) and John
Cage’s seminal Suite for Toy Piano, with traditional
piano works of Bach (Partita in D, S. 828) and Rameau
(selections from Pièces de Clavecin) in this innovative
“green” home whose design has taken into account
the needs of all its inhabitants including Hobbes, the
family’s giant Briard dog.

together with a young singer “equally adept at
lightness of touch and expressive despair” (Early

fantazias in three to five parts and the stunning
In Nomines in six and seven parts, also weaving

hotel (rescued, restored and converted into a school
by the Dominican Sisters in 1931) retains many of its
original features, including a music room – at once
elegant and comfortable, beautifully suited to the
performance of chamber music. In this splendid
setting the award-winning Pacifica Quartet opens
our Beethoven Cycle in a dynamic program of early
(Opus 18/6 in B-flat, “La Maliconia”), middle (Op. 95
in f, “Serioso”) and late period quartets (Op. 132 in a).

Performing on an ultra-modern glass walkway
suspended by cables “played off a concrete wall that
looks like it could have been here 500 years”, two
musicians esteemed for their prowess as performers
make their Southern California debut in a program
of musical works separated by 350 years. Architect
Steven Ehrlich’s home, with glass walls on three sides
which open to the African-inspired courtyard,
achieves his desire to “create an environment that
would be transformative” and which embodies his
“multicultural modernism”. A striking setting for the
duo’s striking program – anchored by Canzoni of 17th
century master Girolamo Frescobaldi, with works by
modernist giants Cage (Harmonies from Apartment
House 1776), Berio (Sequenza V) and Stockhausen
(excerpts from Zodiac), and just for fun, a

Concerto Palatino

In its Los Angeles debut, this renowned ensemble
of cornetti and sackbuts brings together a program
of 17th century giants of German sacred music. Revel
in the unique and special sound of these ancient
instruments played by their recognized present-day
masters paired with Dutch virtuoso soprano
Johannette Zomer, one of Europe’s leading singers
in this repertoire, who “sings with such range of
inflection and commitment that one almost feels
that the works were in her blood by right”
(Gramophone). The diffusion of Italian style in the
North was an important aspect of these composers’
works, and the Northern Italian Romanesque
landmark Wilshire Christian Church provides an
inspiring setting to show the genius of such
neglected masters as Schütz, Schein, Scheidt,
Rosenmüller and others. “Concerto Palatino delivers
delicious sonic bliss where the flamboyant art of
improvisation triumphs” (Classica, Italy).

“Virtuosi Veneziani”
Old meets new as music of 17th century Venice
(Italy) – fabled city of canals – is played by two
early music stars in a 21st century Venice (California)
house on its own canal where “the simple purity of
form and materials creates a monastic-like interior
that encourages contemplation and artistic
creation” (Interior Digest). With the canal just
outside the window, enjoy a performance that is
“spectacular, exuberant, colourful and downright
ravishing” (International Record Review) while
admiring a house designed by the architect for
himself where “hard and soft surfaces, sensuous
curves and sharp angles play off each other”

“A Concert in the Viennese Botanical Gardens”
A program in the spirit of a series of early 19th
century concerts held in the Botanical Gardens of
Schönbrunn which featured the greatest virtuosi of
the day. In the spirit of that celebrated series, the
Doheny Mansion is transformed for the evening into
a Viennese greenhouse hosting an impressive line up
of great early music virtuosi of our day headlined by
violinist Monica Huggett, noted for “playing of real
elegance” (The Independent) and “musicianship
that is not showy, just highly penetrating and
accomplished” (Gramophone). Gracious and
entertaining music of Hummel (Grande Serenade),
Giuliani (Trio for violin, guitar, and cello) and Diabelli
(Duo for piano and guitar) comes to vivid life in the
rococo splendor of the Pompeian Room.

“Civic Music from the Venetian Republic”
In a rotunda rising four stories under an ornate
domed ceiling in the heart of Los Angeles’ City Hall,
Ciaramella transports you to Renaissance Venice
performing on strings, organ, and an astonishing array
of wind instruments, including shawms, sackbuts,
dulcian and recorders. Like Los Angeles, another city
by the sea, 15th century Venice prided herself on her
commerce, culture and trade with the exotic Orient.
At the center of the musical scene presided the
basilica of St. Mark’s, whose special shape as a Greek
cross made possible the brilliant antiphonal music
for which it is renowned. The rotunda of City Hall,
with its resonant acoustic and layout, calls to mind
St. Mark’s, making it the ideal setting for Ciaramella’s
program of works by Gabrieli, Monteverdi and other
masters. “One of the finest ensembles in the world
today for this special repertoire” (The San Francisco
Classical Voice).

Beethoven Cycle
Leipzig String Quartet
Flanked by dramatic two-story windows overlooking
the plaza below, this classical-inspired ballroom
with opulent gilding and a richly ornamented
coffered ceiling provides an enticing setting for
an afternoon of Beethoven quartets. Widely
recognized as “one of the towering and most
versatile quartets of our time,” (Neue Züricher
Zeitung) the Leipzig String Quartet, on the heels
of their recently completed Beethoven cycle
recording, will offer fresh, sophisticated renderings
of an early quartet (Op. 18/3 in D), a middle period
quartet (Op. 59/3 in C, “Hero”) and a late quartet
(Op. 127 in E-flat). “The great composers meet their
match in these master chamber musicians who have
skyrocketed to fame in record time” (Gramophone).

Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet
Behind an arc of 80-year-old eucalyptus trees,
a rotunda, construed as the contemporary
counterpart of a Mediterranean hillside tower,
signals the entry to the dramatic villa that awardwinning architect David Martin built for himself.
In the barrel vaulted heart of the house, complete
with a bent glass and aluminum-framed elevator
cage inspired by Los Angeles’ late 19th-century
Bradbury building, the world’s most innovative and
exciting recorder consort performs as part of its
30th anniversary tour. Known for its virtuosity and
risk-taking, the Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet
has explored the boundaries of the recorder
consort, performing to great acclaim throughout
the world. For their Rustic Canyon Residence
concert, the quartet will perform Italian music
old (Vivaldi and Merula) and new (Fulvio Caldini’s

quartet which “changes even the most simple
work into a breathtaking diamond” (Het Parool,
Amsterdam). The quartet shows its full range in a
program of classics arranged for saxophone quartet
(Arvo Pärt’s Fratres; César Franck’s Prelude, Fugue
and Variation), one of the first and most substantial
original works for saxophone quartet (Glazunov,
Quartet in B-flat), and works by Philip Glass
(Saxophone Quartet) and Rabih Abou-Khalil
(Arabian Waltz). “...highly developed ensemble
playing...masters of the instruments” (Pizzicato,

“Prisoners of War and Love”
The Medieval tower not only stood as a symbol of
civic unity from which horns sounded and music
played announcing the hour or impending danger,
but also held prisoners of war and love, inspiring
songs and poetry by nobles and peasants alike.
Our own City Hall Tower, long the tallest building in
Los Angeles at 452 feet above Main Street, offers a
spectacular setting for a concert of music of the
early tower musicians as well as songs sung by tower
prisoners, among whose ranks were famous nobles
King Richard the Lionheart and noted 15th century
poet Duke Charles d’Orléans. “A model of consort
playing for all to notice” (American Recorder
Magazine), Ciaramella includes Richard the
Lionheart’s affecting Jay nun hons pris, Binchois’s
Filles est marie and Dufay’s Le belle se siet (a song
sung by a lady at the foot of the tower as her lover
is about to be hung) in this unique program on the
Tower’s 27th floor observation deck surrounded by
uninterrupted views of the Southland.

Richard Savino, director
“¡Zarzuela!”
The florid Churrigueresque façade and lavish
Spanish baroque interior of the aptly named Million
Dollar Theater serve as a dazzling milieu for a rare
program of 17th century Spanish zarzuela. Named
after Philip IV’s hunting retreat outside of Madrid,
where some of the earliest productions took
place, the zarzuela evolved at approximately
the same time as did Italian opera yet retains a
characteristically Iberian flavor. Under the energetic
direction of lutenist-guitarist Richard Savino, this
12-member group of specialist musicians – all
virtuosi in their own right – returns to our series
with Sebastián Durón’s Salir el amor del mundo
(loosely translated as “Cupid’s Final Folly”) and other
marvelous examples of this special music. “Those
who snapped up tickets in the hope of hearing
something exciting, exhilarating, and exquisite got
precisely that from El Mundo – a first-rate band of
minstrels” (The Georgia Straight, Vancouver, BC).
BEETHOVEN ENCOUNTERS
Talk & Reception 1 Week Prior to Beethoven Cycle Concerts
The opportunity to hear the complete
string quartets of Beethoven is rare enough,
but also to hear them in the elegant and
intimate settings that are the hallmark of
Chamber Music in Historic Sites – and
which are reminiscent of the environments
in which the works were first heard –
may well be unprecedented in Southern
California.
Beethoven’s quartets continue both to
thrill and to challenge. Covering his full
compositional career, they reveal the
evolution of one of the world’s great
creative artists and are regarded by many
as among his most personal expressions.
Beethoven’s lifetime coincided with a period
of extreme political and social upheaval in
Europe; he was also a complex personality.
Coincident with our Beethoven concerts, we
are pleased to offer a series of Beethoven
Encounters in which a noted Beethoven
NOW AVAILABLE
scholar places the music in its historic,
social and psychological context, including
much new research and innovative
thinking on these subjects. Each will be
accompanied by a reception, providing an
entertaining and stimulating occasion for
mingling with our scholar and other music
lovers while learning more about this
fascinating man and his milieu.

The Doheny Mansion:
A Biography of a Home
by MaryAnn Bonino
The fascinating evolution of one of Los
Angeles’ most magnificent landmarks
follows the path of two exceptional lives,
Edward L. Doheny and his wife, Estelle.
Making his way through dark mine shafts
and dusty oil fields to the marble halls of
politics and finance, Doheny presided
over one of the world’s largest oil empires
at a critical time. Growing wealth and
aspirations, cultural and philanthropic
interests — even his years in the Wild
West — were all reflected in the
development of the Chester Place
mansion, with sumptuous entertainments,
friends in high places, and the inevitable
ghosts in the attic.
Proceeds will be directed to mansion
conservation. Order now at www.DaCamera.org
