Whether leading his exceptional trio or performing solo\, Brad Mehldau finds fresh and challenging ways to speak to listeners of all ages. With his lovely\, penetrating treatments of songs by such pop greats as Radiohead\, Nick Drake and Oasis\, Mehldau has pushed jazz's boundaries. At the same time\, he has invigorated standards with a rigorously intellectual but richly melodic approach. By collaborating with artists such as soprano Renée Fleming\, he has further defined himself as an artist who demands to be heard-a true Jazz Innovator.

Perhaps Dvořák’s most well known work\, the groundbreaking Ninth Symphony was composed during his travels in the United States. Dvořák—who championed his native Czech music by weaving folk melodies into classical forms—immersed himself in American culture and drew inspiration from our wide-open spaces\, folk music and spirituals. All of these elements are woven into the tapestry of his New World Symphony.

CCM serves up \\"refreshment to the soul\\" (as Bach describes music) in this all-Baroque concert. Hertel's Concerto in E-flat\, written on te brink of the Classical era\, merges Baroque styles with burgeouning Classicism. Bach's Concerto for Two Violins is a favorite among violinists for its beautiful Largo movement and intertwining melodies\, and his spirited Orchestral Suite harkens back to the days of royal dances and soirées. Vivaldi's Concerto for Bassoon explores the soulfulness of the instrument. Telemann's advice to \\"give every instrument its due\\" is held true as each artist displays virtuosity in his Concerto in D Major.

the lights dim - film and music take center stage-
cinematic highlights illuminate the way masterful composers can tease out inner torments. Muhly (who has worked with Bjork) imbues The Reader with tortured angst. Jacob TV (aka Jacob ter Veldhuis) obsessively works motifs exploring gambling\, addiction and incarceration. Woolf's documentary score is rippled with sympathy for the trials of Tibetan refugees. And Bartok's vibrant classic animates Spike Jonze' surreal identity crisis.

Despite suffering from tuberculosis he accepted the task\, rising from his deathbed to compose in a fit of devotional frenzy before passing away aged only 26. Drawing inevitable comparisons to Mozart's deathbed Requiem\, Pergolesi’s beautiful and intoxicating Stabat Mater was one of the most popular works of its time and remains so today.

Bennett\: Partita
Respighi\: Botticelli Triptych
Kodaly\: Summer Evening
Ravel\: Le Tombeau de Couperin
One unique feature of Ars Viva is our commitment to presenting lesser-known works\, often by unjustly neglected composers. Richard Rodney Bennett's Partita is oan energetic orchestral showpiece by an English composer who deserves to be far better known in the USA. Respighi's evocative orchestral reflections on three of Botticelli's greatest masterpieces is a treasure of Italian impressionalism. The Hungarian Kodaly's miniature portrayal of summer tranquility will leave you wishing for more (while chasing away winter's cold). Finally\, Ravel's work skillfully displays his genius as the master of colorful orchestration.

So legend goes\, Pergolesi was commissioned by the monks of the brotherhood of San Luigi di Palazzo in Naples\, to compose a musical setting to the text of the Stabat Mater. Despite suffering from tuberculosis he accepted the task\, rising from his deathbed to compose in a fit of devotional frenzy before passing away aged only 26. Drawing inevitable comparisons to Mozart's deathbed Requiem\, Pergolesi’s beautiful and intoxicating Stabat Mater was one of the most popular works of its time and remains so today.
Baroque Band marks the 300th anniversary of Pergolesi’s birth with a performance of this momentous work\: a celebration of life and death.
