SPRING 2019 - Quartet concerts in Hyampom and Eureka

Friday, April 19, 7:00pm
Hyampom Community Hall, Hyampom

Saturday, April 20, 2:00pm
Morris Graves Museum of Art, Eureka

The program spans the full history of the string quartet. Joseph Haydn’s Opus 77 No 2 is the last quartet completed by the great master that is credited with defining the genre. Sergei Prokofiev’s String Quartet number 2, written 142 years later, speaks to the classical forms Haydn established through the lens of 20th century Karbadian folk music. Finally, Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte, which is inspired by the Haydn quartet’s minuet movement, takes that classical form and brings us to the present day, concluding our whirlwind tour of the string quartet sound.

ANNOUNCING THE 2018 COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE: MAX STOFFREGEN
     This summer composer Max Stoffregen will join the festival as the 2018 Composer-in-Residence.
     “Presenting new music and supporting living composers has always been one of our priorities,” says festival director Ian Scarfe, “This residency program allows us to bring the composer to the festival to enjoy the full experience that we offer.”
     In past seasons, the festival has commissioned new musical works, including Stephen Kahn's “Redbud Peeks” in 2012, Danny Clay's “Just So Stories” in 2014 and “Ocean Park” in 2016, and Noah Luna's “Landscape Variations” in 2016, which was supported by Michael Cohen of Redding.
     This year, Stoffregen will enjoy a more immersive role, joining the other musicians for their retreat week in Hyampom, working with the different instrumentalists in rehearsals, participating in the concerts, and enjoying a backpacking trip in the Trinity Alps.    
     He will contribute two compositions to the festival - one this year, which will be performed on the August 24-26 “Summer Serenades” programs, and another in 2019 which will be informed and enriched by the immersion of the residency, and time spent in the Trinity Alps backcountry.
     Stoffregen has spent lots of time in scenic wilderness areas such as the Trinity Alps, describing his connection to nature as “a passion and priority...the natural world is a potent inspiration, and many of my compositions are inspired by the landscapes I have immersed myself in.”
