Ilya Itin, piano, is a Russian-born
pianist whose consummate pianism
has delighted audiences on four
continents – Europe, the Americas, and
Asia – receiving critical acclaim for his
concerto and recital performances, with
a repertoire from Bach to Messiaen. In
1996, Ilya was awarded the Gold Medal
at the Leeds International Pianoforte
Competition by unanimous decision of
the jury, sweeping all the awards and
winning the votes of the BBC audience.
Reviewers have praised his exceptional
musicianship and charismatic personality
as a performer and communicator,
noting “his rare and exciting artistry”
and “superb technique” (Daily
Telegraph), and his “delicious and rare
talent” (The Washington Post). He has
collaborated with many of the world’s
great conductors, including Dohnanyi,
Jarvi, Pletnev, Nygaard, Rattle, and
Tovey, and performed with the Prague
Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra,
the London Symphony, and the Tokyo
and St. Petersburg Philharmonic, among
others. He plays at international festivals
from Aldeburgh to Tel Aviv and Toulouse,
including the Mostly Mozart Festival at
Lincoln Center. He has also won top
prizes at the Casadesus, William Kappell,
Arthur Rubinstein, Gina Bachauer,
and Rachmaninov competitions. Born
in Sverdlovsk, (now Yekaterinburg),
Russia, Ilya graduated from the Moscow
Conservatory with highest honors. His
recordings include Beethoven’s Piano
Concerto with the Jerusalem Camerata,
with which he toured throughout the
U.S., and a recital of Mussorgsky’s
Pictures at an Exhibition and Prokofiev’s

support from the Miami-based Patrons
of Exceptional Artists.

has said that “he is a terrific violinist.
His technique is of the ‘wow’ variety, his

Montreal La Presse said that “Robert
Davidovici is a born violinist in the most

2013, Robert Davidovici performed the
Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Royal

what I don’t sing.” All that pioneer spirit
and virtuosity opened up a great big sky
full of new options for singers; so did
Bobby’s experiments in multi-tracking
his voice (“Don’t Worry, Be Happy” has
seven separate, over-dubbed vocal tracks;
Bobby’s choral album VOCAbuLarieS
with Roger Treece has thousands). But
virtuosity isn’t the point. “I try not to
‘perform’ onstage,” says Bobby. “I try to
sing the way I sing in my kitchen, because
I just can’t help myself. I want audiences
to leave the theatre and sing in their own
kitchens the next morning. I want to bring
audiences into the incredible feeling of
joy and freedom I get when I sing.” Bobby
McFerrin’s tour schedule in 2014-2015
spans many exciting projects. Bobby will
welcome local musicians and dancers
onstage for Bobby Meets Paris, Bobby Meets
Stockholm, and Bobby Meets Cleveland.
He’ll perform throughout the US, Canada,
Europe, and South America with the
bluesy, roots-influenced Spirityouall band,
singing his own versions of classic spirituals
alongside original tunes; he’ll sing material
from the choral album VOCAbuLarieS with
the 18-voice a cappella group SLIXS &
Friends; and in 2015 he’ll play duets with
his longtime friend and collaborator, Chick
Corea. Visit bobbymcferrin.com and the
Bobby McFerrin page on Facebook for more
information.
Bobby McFerrin, vocals, has for decades
broken all the rules. The 10-time Grammy
winner has blurred the distinction
between pop music and fine art, goofing
around barefoot in the world’s finest
concert halls, exploring uncharted vocal
territory, inspiring a whole new generation
of a cappella singers and the beat box
movement. He redefined the role of the
human voice with his a cappella hit “Don’t
Worry, Be Happy,” his collaborations
with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and the
Vienna Philharmonic, his improvising
choir Voicestra, and his legendary solo
vocal performances. Most people don’t
know that Bobby came from a family of
singers. Bobby’s father, the Metropolitan
Opera baritone Robert McFerrin, Sr.,
provided the singing voice for Sydney
Poitier for the film version of Porgy & Bess,
and his mother Sara was a fine soprano
soloist and voice teacher. Bobby grew
up surrounded by music of all kinds. He
remembers conducting Beethoven on the
stereo at three, hiding under the piano
while his father and mother coached
young singers, dancing around the house
to Louie Armstrong, Judy Garland, Etta
Jones, and Fred Astaire. He played the
clarinet seriously as a child, and he began
his musical career as a pianist, at the age
of 14. He led his own jazz groups, studied
composition, toured with the show band
for the Ice Follies, and played for dance
classes. Then one day he was walking home
and, suddenly, he understood that he had
been a singer all along. Bobby’s history
as an instrumentalist and bandleader is
the key to understanding his innovative
approach to mapping harmony and rhythm
(as well as melody) with his voice. “I can’t
sing everything at once,” he says, “but I
can hint at it so the audience hears even

Isango Ensemble – An Introduction
The South African company Isango Ensemble
is based in Cape Town. The core of the
company was formed by director Mark
Dornford-May and music director and singer
Pauline Malefane in 2000. The company
predominantly draws performers from
across the townships surrounding the city.
The company’s structure embraces artists
at all stages of their creative development,
allowing senior artists to lead and contribute
towards the growth of rising talents. At
its heart are the extraordinary and varied
musical abilities of its group of performers.
In 2011, the company became a Section 21
Company, a not-for-profit organization, and
took as its new name – Isango Ensemble.
Isango Ensemble works through the creative
force and energy of each and every member
of the Company. This collective focus makes
things happen beyond “the box.” It is the
mixture and clash of its cultures, races,
and experiences that enables it to create
work of the highest caliber. The company’s
work to date has focused on reimagining
classics from the Western theatre canon,

The Magic Flute – An African Tale?
A Director’s Note from Mark Dornford-May
In Tsonga tradition, lightning is caused by
birds called the andlati. These birds, with
their multicolored plumage, live in the high
mountains. When a storm is brewing, they
fly towards heaven and then dive out of
the clouds towards earth, striking a tree,
a house, or a person causing death and
fire in the middle of rain. The only way to
prevent this bird from causing destruction
is to find someone brave enough to climb
into the mountains as the storm is breaking.
Once they have climbed high enough they
are to play on an enchanted flute. The
sound of this flute will force the birds to
spare the musician and his immediate
community. Hearing this story by accident,
I couldn’t help wonder if Mozart had
also come across it. The similarities are
extraordinary. A “Magic Flute” player has
to face lightning (fire) and rain (water) in
order to save himself and his community.
The frightening birds live like the “Queen
of the Night” in the high mountains and

piece of music storytelling, and it has
always belonged to every man.
appear in thunder and lightning; Mozart’s
stage directions specify “thunder and
lightning” for the Queen’s entrance. The
Tsongan flute is carved from the bone of
andlati bird during a storm; Mozart’s flute is
also carved during a storm “when lightning
flashed.” The only way to avert destruction
in both tales is through the music of a
“flute.” The story may never have reached
Mozart, but the similarities are fascinating
none the less. Who knows? Maybe one of
the greatest pieces of European opera
had its roots and inspiration in a South
African folk tale. The Magic Flute fable
owes part of its huge popularity to the
unlikely combination of a fairytale with a
passionate and all-encompassing tale of an
individual’s faith and belief. As it thrillingly
unfolds, it explores issues of isolation and
inclusion, male and female, waste and
cleansing, night and day, chaos and order,
and, perhaps most importantly, destruction
and forgiveness. All these themes have
heightened resonance in a South African
setting. Mozart’s The Magic Flute premiered
in September 1791, a matter of weeks
before Mozart’s death at age 35. It stands
as the overwhelming achievement of his
life (quite a claim, given Mozart’s unfeasibly
high output of masterpieces in every
genre). It is, quite possibly, the finest
musical drama ever written. Into it, Mozart
poured his uncanny ability to capture the
essence of humanity in music; to hold up
a mirror to us all. You can’t know true joy
without true pain, and Mozart expresses
this uniquely well. The Magic Flute is
a simple moralistic allegory about the
journey towards self-knowledge, towards
compassion, towards tolerance, towards
enlightenment – a journey in which we are
all engaged. It was created to be performed
in a suburban theatre for “ordinary” people
Mozart’s Magic Flute – The Story
ACT 1
Tamino, a young traveler who is passing
through the realm of the Queen of the
Night, is being pursued by a fire-breathing
beast. He cries for help and faints with
terror. Three Ladies – warriors of the
Queen – hear his cries and spear the beast.
Seeing how handsome the young man is,
they go to tell the Queen what happened.
Papageno, a bird catcher, is trying to lure
birds into his net using his whistle. As
Tamino regains consciousness, the birds
are scared away. Papageno is a natural
improviser and he claims credit for killing
the fire-breathing beast. The Three Ladies
reappear and punish Papageno for his lie
by locking his mouth with a padlock. They
show Tamino a picture of the Queen’s
daughter, Pamina, whom they say has
been kidnapped by an evil man – Sarastro.
Tamino falls in love with the picture and
promises to rescue the beautiful girl. The
Queen of the Night arrives and urges a very
frightened Tamino to keep his promise to
rescue Pamina. To help him, he is presented
with a Magic Flute. Papageno’s padlock
is removed and he is ordered to help
Tamino and given a set of magic bells. Both
instruments, bells and flute, have the power
to help the owners and to change evil into
good. Three spirits materialize. They send
the Ladies to sleep and offer to guide the
men to Sarastro’s camp. Papageno and
Tamino are pointed in the right direction

The Calder Quartet, called “outstanding”
and “superb” by The New York Times,
performs a broad range of repertoire at an
exceptional level, always striving to channel
and fulfill the composer’s vision. Already
the choice of many leading composers
to perform their works – including
Christopher Rouse, Terry Riley and Thomas
Adès – the group’s distinctive approach is
exemplified by a musical curiosity brought
to everything they perform, whether it’s
Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, or sold-out
rock shows with bands like The National or
The Airborne Toxic Event. Known for the
discovery, commissioning, recording, and
mentoring of some of today’s best emerging
composers (over 25 commissioned works
to date), the group continues to work and
collaborate with artists across musical
genres, spanning the ranges of the classical
and contemporary music world, as well
as rock and visual arts; and in venues
ranging from art galleries and rock clubs
to Carnegie and Walt Disney concert halls.
Inspired by innovative American artist
Alexander Calder, the Calder Quartet’s
desire to bring immediacy and context to
the works they perform creates an artfully
crafted musical experience. The 2013-14
season saw debuts for the Calder Quartet
at New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art (performing a
Bartók cycle with a signature Calder twist),
the Phillips Collection in Washington DC,
and London’s Wigmore Hall. The group
premiered a new work by Pulitzer Prizewinning composer David Lang with Los
Angeles Master Chorale. Other highlights
include returns to Rockport Chamber
Music Festival, Bravo! Vail Valley Music
Festival, Cal Performances, and the Los
Angeles Philharmonic’s 2014 Minimalist
Jukebox. Also in 2013-14, recordings from
the group’s Eclectic Currents Project – a
Kickstarter-funded commissioning project
with the aim of recording and releasing 12
new quartets from 12 young composers
– were released. In 2012-13, the Calder
Quartet continued an impressive run of
collaborations and commissions with
concerts across the globe. In the spring
of 2013, the quartet performed Terry
Riley’s “The Sands” with the Cleveland
Orchestra. The quartet debuted at
Vancouver’s Music on Main/Modulus
Festival, opened both the Chamber Series
and Parallels Series at Amherst College,
and premiered three new works at L.A.’s
Getty Museum. The group continued
its regular concerts with ArtPower UC
San Diego, returned to Australia with an
appearance at the Adelaide Festival (with
Iva Bittova), and made its London debut
at the 2013 Barbican Festival. The group
has also maintained an active recording
schedule. The quartet with pianist Gloria
Cheng recorded works by Messaien and
Saariaho for the Harmonia Mundi release
entitled The Edge of Light. They also teamed
with pianist Anne-Marie McDermott
to record Mozart concertos for Bridge
Records. Other recent highlights include
a premiere of a new clarinet quintet by
Aaron Jay Kernis at La Jolla Music Society
SummerFest, performances at the Laguna
Beach Festival alongside Joshua Bell and
Edgar Meyer, and at Stanford Lively Arts
and Le Poisson Rouge (NYC) with Grammywinning pianist Gloria Cheng. The quartet
debuted at the Edinburgh International
Festival (broadcast on BBC-3), and
made its Austrian debut at the Esterhazy
Palace. They have performed at top halls
and festivals across the globe including
Carnegie Hall, Washington Performing Arts
Society, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival,

ABOUT
About the Program
“When I wished to sing of love, it turned to
sorrow. And when I wished to sing of sorrow,
it transformed for me into love”
– Franz Schubert
“My compositions spring from my sorrows.
Those that give the world the greatest
delight were born of my deepest griefs.”
– Franz Schubert
Schubert’s chamber music, now a
cornerstone of the cannon, was largely a
private affair in his lifetime. He passed away
never seeing some of his greatest works
published or hearing them performed
publicly. These concerts explore two
of Schubert’s greatest works-his Death
and the Maiden quartet, and his final
chamber work, the Cello Quintet in C
Major, in a context of works by composers
he influenced and those who influenced
him, including those affiliated with both
Viennese schools and a new work by
Icelandic composer Daniel Bjarnason.
Calder quartet is joined by the young
soprano Yulia van Doren in Second
Viennese School composer (and Los
Angeles resident) Arnold Schoenberg’s late
Romantic 2nd string quartet. Ms. Van Doren
is known to LA audiences through her
performances with The Los Angeles Master
Chorale (Brahms Requiem), Pasadena
Symphony (Mahler 4), and the Los Angeles
Philharmonic (she created the lead female
in Shostakovich’s Orango directed by Peter
Sellers). Schubert’s Death and the Maiden
is a staple of the quartet literature and is
Schubert’s meditation on death closely
connected to song.
Benjamin Jacobson, violin, made his
solo debut at age 13 with the San Diego
Symphony. A graduate of the University
of Southern California and the Colburn
Conservatory, Jacobson studied primarily
under Robert Lipsett. Career highlights
include performances with the Colburn
Orchestra, as well as chamber and recital
appearances at Chamber Music Sedona
in Sedona, Arizona. He has also appeared
as a soloist with the Culver City Chamber
Orchestra, the Zipper Orchestra, and
the USC Thornton Symphony. Jacobson
currently resides in New York. He performs
on a Joseph Antonius Rocca violin c. 1837,
on loan from the Mandell Collection.
Andrew Bulbrook, violin, enjoys a
diverse and exciting musical career. A
Massachusetts native, Andrew began violin
lessons at age six and made his solo debut
with orchestra at age 15. As a soloist and
recitalist he has appeared with ensembles
such as the Boston Classical Orchestra,
the Colburn Orchestra, and the American
Youth Symphony in venues from Boston’s
landmark Jordan Hall to Royce Hall in Los
Angeles. Intrigued by the role of classical
music in today’s society, Andrew has been
a commentator on classical radio stations
throughout the United States. Andrew is
an alumnus of the University of Southern
California, where he received his B.A in
economics with highest honors and was
named a USC Renaissance Scholar. His
principal teachers are Robert Lipsett,
Michele Kim, and Zinaida Gilels. He
performs on a violin by Francesco Ruggieri,
c. 1673 (ex-Ernst, ex-Persinger).
Jonathan Moerschel, viola, was born
in Boston, Massachusetts into a musical
family. His mother, a pianist, and his father,
a cellist in the Boston Symphony, fostered
his early studies both in piano and violin.
At the age of sixteen, he began studying

In a career that spans two decades and

the jazz community. A New York Times
profile of Turner titled “The Best Jazz
Player You’ve Never Heard” called him
“possibly jazz’s premier player,” noting
his reputation amongst his peers and his
influential stature in the jazz world. This
is an extremely rare LA appearance by
one of the great NY voices of jazz – highly
