2008-2009 SEASON
Silk Road Modern!
Discover a Russian Carmina Burana
with an intoxicating blend of ancient and modern sensuality, a collision of the primitive and the sublime!
Enter a world of dancing mermaids and howling wood-goblins where shamanism, ancient Slavic ritual and medieval invocations share the stage with electronic technologies and minimalism!
Be among the first to experience amazing music by the most compelling Russian composers alive, written especially for the Dmitri Pokrovsky Ensemble and members of Opus Posth including Tatiana Grindenko.
An irrepressible folk tradition transformed: SCP commissions the composers of the Caucasus.
The leading composers of today's Caucasus write poems of mystery, beauty, strength and power.
Giya Kancheli, the leading Caucasian composer of our time, presents a new and transcendent work for flute and strings, heard for the first time on the West Coast.
