BCP Opening Concert: New Beginnings and Inspirations

Benicia Chamber Players

BCP's opening concert of the 2023/2024 concert season featuring works by Ali-Zadeh, Martinů, Mendelssohn, and Sirmen

Community Congregational Church, UCC

Join the Benicia Chamber Players for the opening concert of their 23/24 season! “New Beginnings and Inspirations” celebrates a new era for BCP by offering a snapshot of the exciting and varied concerts that await this season. Works include the string quartet piece Reqs by Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, who was inspired by the diversity of her Azerbaijani culture’s dance traditions; one of the earliest surviving chamber works by a woman composer, a violin duo by the violin and composition virtuoso Maddelena Sirmen; Martinů’s rhapsodic and virtuosic first duo for violin and cello; and Felix Mendelssohn’s first mature string quartet op. 13 characterized by its poignant “ist es wahr” motive.Program:Martinů - Duo for Violin and Cello No. 1, H. 157Sirmen - Duetto No. 6 in C MajorFranghiz Ali-Zadeh - Reqs (Dance)Mendelssohn String Quartet no. 2 in A Minor, Op. 13Performers:<a href="https://www.aliciachoi.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alicia Choi, violin</a><a href="http://www.elberttsai.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Elbert Tsai, violin</a><a href="https://www.divisaensemble.com/about.php" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stephanie Ng, viola</a><a href="https://www.bradyandersoncellist.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Brady Anderson, cello</a>
