Music for Haiti on Mozart's Birthday
Posted Jan 27, 2010 7:10 AM by Susan Barnes
Today is Mozart's birthday (geburtztag) and Maestro Stephen Paulson of Symphony Parnassus and Principal Bassoonist with the San Francisco Symphony, is performing this evening in a concert sponsored by Classical Revolution.
Details:
Tonight, Wed. Jan. 27, from 6 to 10:30 PM
SoCha Cafe, 3235 Mission St., San Francisco.
and proceeds benefit Haiti earthquake relief.
Stephen Paulson will be performing two works, along with many other young Bay Area musicians in a program of chamber works (6 - 8 PM) and chamber orchestra (8 - 10:30 PM). At around 7 PM, I'll play a transcription of Adagio and Rondo (bassoon and piano), with Ian Scarfe, and at around 8 PM, Mr. Paulson will be back with the Bassoon Concerto K. 191 with chamber orchestra with Mr. Scarfe conducting. According to Mr. Paulson "I will include a cadenza written for the occasion, which will attempt to incorporate the Haitian National Anthem. Should be fun. They do serve alcohol."
If classical music isn't your thing or you're just not free tonight or you live to far from San Francisco, please consider purchasing the Haiti HOPE collection on iTunes.
Remember every penny counts.
