"Double Trouble" features four pairs of soloists playing double concertos by Antonio Vivaldi\, Arthur Honegger\, and a world premiere by local violinist and composer Gloria Justen. Also featured is an evocative duo for two violins by our Grammy award-winning Composer in Residence\, Gabriela Lena Frank\, from her string quartet Quijotadas (2007). Arthur Honegger (1892-1955) wrote his Concerto da Camera - Chamber Concerto - for flute\, English Horn\, and strings\, in 1948. Neoclassical in style\, his delightful Concerto da Camera is in three movements: the first a jaunty\, rhythmically charged Allegretto amabile\; the second a dark\, somber Andante\; the third a playful Vivace that puts the soloists through their virtuoso paces. Gloria Justen's evocative music spring from her explorations in improvisation and desire to create soundscapes that reflect the natural world back to us. Her Double Concerto for Violin and Cello\, commissioned by the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra\, will receive its world premiere performances on these concerts\, featuring Ms. Justen herself on violin and SFCO principal cellist Eric Gaenslen on cello. Gabriela Lena Frank\, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra's very first Composer in Residence\, was the recent winner of a 2009 Latin Grammy Award\, in the category of Best Classical Contemporary Composition for her work Inca Dances\, written for guitarist Manuel Barrueco and the Quarteto Latinamericano. Ms. Frank's 2007 string quartet\, Quijotados\, written for the Brentano Quartet\, describes in music the extravagant delusions wrought in the quixotic spirit of Cervante's famous novel\, El Ingenioso Hidalgo don Quixote da la Mancha.

"The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" features a cast of 6 solo dancers\, a movement choir of 18\, 8 musicians and singer/songwriter Odessa Chen. Together they realize Garrett and Moulton's vision of a taught\, visceral work that floods the stage with movement\, sound and dramatic action in a dynamic exploration of individual and collective transformation. www.janicegarrettanddancers.org Excerpts from the work\, which choreographer and ODC/Dance Artistic Director Brenda Way called "A gorgeous evening full of imagery\, emotion\, humor and humanity\," may be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENe9YdlsWY4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=benfNiy7iz4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pipXMPPvbGM "The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" juxtaposes soloists against group\, creating transformative dramatic friction of conflict and resolution\, tension and release in a non-narrative exploration that is visually and emotionally stunning. American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Carey Perloff said\, "It was one of my favorite performances of last season\, filled with wit and immense theatricality\, a rich combination of haunting solos and brilliant choral moments that look like what Brecht and Sophocles must have had in mind. This is a beautiful piece\, worth seeing twice." "The Illustrated Book of Invisible Stories" is performed to an audience that surrounds the stage on three sides affording unusual intimacy\, depth and a feeling of inevitable connection with the artists. Envisioned as a three-dimensional\, "holographic" book\, the stage space comes alive in a progression of dramatic episodes that arise and dissolve-each illuminating and investigating awkward\, delicate and bittersweet aspects of the human experience.
