Season Opening Concert: "Cultural Spheres"

Benicia Chamber Players

Join us for our first concert of the 2024-2025 season: "Cultural Spheres: Frank and Beethoven String Quartets"

Community Congregational Church, UCC

The 2024-2025 Benicia Chamber Players season kicks off with “Cultural Spheres,” a program that celebrates the rich diversity of musical traditions and the universal theme of harmony. Gabriela Lena Frank’s Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout was inspired by the concept of mestizaje, as envisioned by Peruvian writer José María Arguedas, where “cultures can coexist without the subjugation of one by the other.” This piece blends Western classical and Andean folk music traditions. It is paired with Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 2, Op. 59, whose second movement reflects Beethoven’s contemplation of the “harmony of the spheres” as he observed the starry skies.
