Complimentary permits available at the Kiosk Villa-Lobos International Chamber Music Festival Celebrating the chamber music of the first distinctly Latino voice in classical music, Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), the music that influenced him (Bach, Debussy, Stravinsky, and Brazilian Choros), and his influence on Latin American composers of the 20th and 21st centuries (Chavez, Revueltas, Ginastera, and especially Paulo C. Chagas). Brazilian Choro, Villa-Lobos, and Jazz A kind of Brazilian equivalent to jazz, “choro” was a popular style of music that flourished at the turn of the 20th century. As a teenager, Villa-Lobos snuck out of his home to listen and play along with the musicians, and those experiences forever marked his later compositions. Today, jazz musicians like Southern California legend Peter Sprague continue to explore the influence of Brazilian choro, channeled through Villa-Lobos, Tom Jobim, and countless other musical giants. Revueltas also found inspiration in the folk and popular musics of his native Mexico, heard here in “Música de Feria.” PROGRAM Silvestre Revueltas: String Quartet no. 4 “Música de Feria.” Villa-Lobos: String Quartet no. 5 “Popular” —Intermission— Peter Sprague: works for jazz trio and string quartet California Quartet: Bridget Dolkas, violin I; Jeanne Scrocki, violin II; Pam Jacobson, viola; Lars Hoefs, cello Peter Sprague String Consort: Peter Sprague, jazz guitar; Mac Leighton, bass; Duncan Moore, percussion; and the California Quartet BIOGRAPHIES: partial list Lars Hoefs, professor of cello and music history, Sao Paulo State University, Campinas Parking: Complimentary permits available at the Kiosk |
