Also on tap: sjDANCEco serves up three world premieres, Eun Sun Kim visits SF Symphony; Robert Sirota new work (finally!).
Robert Sirota’s new work for soprano and string quartet, “Contrapassos,” which was commissioned by the Walnut Creek-based Sierra Chamber Society, was supposed to roll out in March of 2020 as part of Sirota@70, a yearlong series of events honoring the esteemed American composer as he entered his septuagenarian years.
Also on the program are Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 15 in A minor and Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2, which also is written for a soprano’s contributions. “Contrapassos” will receive a second performance June 21 in San Francisco as part of the Noontime Concerts series. That program will also include Grazyna Bacewicz’s String Quartet No. 4 and Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major. Find tickets for the Walnut Creek concert, $20-$30, at sierrachamber.com. Admission to the Noontime Concerts program is free, with donations devoutly wished for; see noontimeconcerts.org.
