CONCERT II: 21st CENTURY VIOLIN featuring violinist Graeme Jennings
Seattle Modern Orchestra welcomes Australian violinist Graeme Jennings in a special concert for the 21st century violin featuring U.S. and world premieres. Jennings, for 11 years the second violinist of the celebrated Arditti String Quartet with over 70 recordings and more than 300 world premieres, will perform a world premiere written for Jennings and SMO by Co-Artistic Director, Jérémy Jolley. Jennings will also perform three works by three masters of Italian contemporary music: Luciano Berio, Salvatore Sciarrino, and Franco Donatoni. Berio's Sequenza VIII (1976) for solo violin pushes virtuosity to new heights with rustlings of Bach's Chaconne and a Paganini Caprice. Sciarrino's Le Stagioni Artificiali (2006) leads us to the subtle thresholds of different acoustic environments (U.S. premiere). Dedicated to Sciarrino, Donatoni's Spiri (1977), is a joyful, quasi-euphoric, extroverted piece with dancing rhythms and modal sonorities supporting floating melodic arcs in solo violin and oboe.
