DESCRIPTION:
Alexandra du Bois, highlighted by L.A. Times critic Mark Swed as one of the "Faces to Watch in 2010," is already well known to concert goers as one of the composers-in-residence for our Ascending Dragon Music Festival with Vietnam. This program surrounds her music with the genius of Schubert, Mozart and Brahms. L'apothéose d'un rêve by du Bois was composed for the farewell tour of the Beaux Arts Trio and received its world premiere at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Ending the summer is the Indian summer magic of the Trio, Op. 114 for clarinet, cello and piano by Johannes Brahms.
