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
Belgian cello octet Ô-Celli returns to Canada with their powerful performance style and warm stage presence in a programme featuring well-loved classics of J.S. Bach, Verdi and Strass and cinematic favorites. Members of prominent European orchestras, such as the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, National Opera of Paris, and the Liège Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, these eight celebrated musicians share their passion for the extraordinary richness of their instrument.
“These eight cellists offer concerts that dust off classical music, renew the repertoire and attract a charmed audience” – Aurélie Koch, JV Magazine
