Additional information:
Franklyn D’Antonio, Berkeley
Symphony’s Concertmaster, offers us a unique collection of chamber music
featuring Brahms’ Horn Trio, Richard Strauss' Violin
Sonata and two unaccompanied violin solo works, the monumental Chaconne
by Johann Sebastian Bach and Esa-Pekka Salonen's frenzied,
mini-drama Lachen Verlernt (Laughing Unlearned). Performing with
Franklyn this year will be Alex Camphouse, Berkeley Symphony’s new principal
horn, and Miles Graber, a Juilliard-trained piano soloist. This intimate
chamber music concert will be held at the home of Ann and Jack Eastman, in the
marvelous Maybeck Studio for the Performing Arts. It is part of
Bernard Maybeck’s 1914 Kennedy-Nixon house, originally commissioned by Joseph
R. Nixon as a live-in studio for his daughter Milda’s piano teacher, Alma
Schmidt Kennedy. When Maybeck rebuilt the studio after the 1923 Berkeley
hills fire, he added the uphill home on Buena Vista, connected to the studio by
a bridge, where Milda Nixon lived into her nineties. Performances have been
held in this beautiful and acoustically glorious space for nearly 100 years.
Thank you for supporting Berkeley
Symphony.
