Low Hanging Fruit

Elevate Ensemble’s mission is to bring people together using powerful musical and cross-disciplinary experiences that highlight the incredible talents of the Bay Area music and arts scene.We live in one of the world’s great cultural hubs, with no shortage of brilliant creative minds. The Bay Area is changing the world—with art, with technology, with food and so much more.Elevate Ensemble exists to introduce the Bay Area to the musical side of our creative culture, from rising classical composers to virtuoso young performers. We seek to foster a decidedly Bay Area culture of concert-going, to share the passions and visions that inspire us, and to propel our local musical talents onto the international stage.We also believe that we're stronger together, which is why in many of our events we collaborate with artists from other disciplines, including poetry, visual arts, and the culinary arts.

Elevate Ensemble

Sometimes what’s easiest isn’t always what’s best. That theme is explored in this program of virtuosic chamber works that push the performer to the extreme. Michael Gilbertson’s Low Hanging Fruit serves as the title piece, using musical concepts to illustrate the story of the garden of Eden. Also on the program are Gyorgy Ligeti’s Etudes for Piano, one of the most difficult pieces in the 20th-century piano canon, as well as Bela Bartok’s jazz-inspired Contrasts and a Balkan-themed cello solo work by Serbian-Canadian composer Ana Sokolović.
