about the series | Musical masters of the stage and screen

“Rule Number One in orchestral playing is: it’s all chamber music.” – Leonard Bernstein

The Sunday Chamber Music series invites new listeners and aficionados alike to experience the rich world and intimate musical conversations of classical chamber music, performed at the highest levels. 

This season’s series highlights composers who moved fluidly between the concert hall, film scoring and works for the stage. Featuring works by Leonard Bernstein, Erich Korngold, Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota and Oscar Levant among other greats, the series explores how film and the stage shaped composers, in Hollywood and beyond.

Cellist Eric Wilson, this season’s Series Curator and Host, enjoys a rich career as a soloist and chamber musician in addition to being a UBC cello and chamber music professor. A founding member of the acclaimed Emerson String Quartet and solo cellist of the Ensemble of New York in residence at Lincoln Center, New York, he has delighted audiences throughout decades of performances across the world.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Featuring a trio of composers who fled WWII Europe, this concert begins with an epic and Romantic chamber work by Viennese composer Erich Korngold. 3x Oscar winner Miklós Rózsa’s Piano Quintet showcases his “double life” as a classical composer of immense range. Closing with some of the most terrifying (and most imitated) film music of all time, Bernard Herrmann’s score for the Hitchcock classic perfectly ushers in the ‘scary season’.

Performed by Classical Music Institute Artists at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts in San Antonio, TX. Francisco Fullana, Violin I; Luis Cuevas, Violin II; Edwin Kaplan, Viola; Pedro Bonet Gonzalez, Cello
