Sad to hear of the disbanding of the wonderful St Lawrence String Quartet. Vivid memories of their premieres of my First and Second Quartets, and of Absolute Jest. Listen to their recording with MTT and SF Sym of Absolute Jest and get a jolt of their inimitable high energy.
Operas are rarely perfect first time out. (Ask Verdi!) I am immensely proud of this new, revised version of "Girls of the Golden West," and of the spectacular performance by the cast & @LAPhil Do yourself a favor and buy the actual CD, created with such TLC by @NonesuchRecords

Ummm...actually no. He's uptown, at @MetOpera, aunque todavía un niño
"...Lileana Blain-Cruz’s vibrant and infectiously exultant production." Yes, for sure! It's an astonishing work of stagecraft--and she has great collaborators. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/art…
Kudos all around on the @MetOpera premiere of John Adams (@HellTweet)'s 'El Niño,' with @_JuliaBullock, @DavoneTines, and conductor @marinalsop all making their Met debuts!

How many opera stars make their @MetOpera debut floating down mid-air from the ceiling? nytimes.com/2024/04/22/art…
Act 1: “a greenish-blue floral jungle landscape that might be home to African or Caribbean people,” while Act 2 is dominated by “orangish fiery colors influenced by a more desert vision, like the borderlands of Texas.” apnews.com/article/opera-…

Happy news for Joshua but...how many more hits can our Bay Area classical music scene take? Will @SFC_Datebook work hard to find as knowledgeable and capable a replacement? Probably not. More likely to go the way of LA Times. Classical music just doesn't win the analytics test.

Not your standard night at the Met!

(from today's Corriere della Sera) Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechan Republic, wants to ban music outside a certain BPM (beats per minute) which he considers alien & unnatural. Specifically targeted: Feldman String Quartet #2 & last movement of Harmonielehre.
Part of an interview I did about El Niño for the forthcoming @MetOpera production. Nice to have this, but I hope this doesn't put too dark a spin on the piece, which is more about birth and hope, esp. in this new riotously joyful & colorful production by Lileana Blaine-Cruz

Marin Alsop has always been ahead of her time and ahead of the curve. One of my favorite people. Will make her long-overdue Metropolitan Opera debut with El Niño April 23. sfcv.org/articles/artis…
Gotta say that Gabriella Smith's "Breathing Forests" that I'm doing next week with @CleveOrchestra is a truly inspired & utterly original creation. The best new music anywhere is coming from our young US composers. So, what's SF Sym doing? Why, cutting commissions, of course.
"it was a matter of wishful thinking combined with a faith in Salonen’s ability to galvanize Silicon Valley donors who have so far been largely immune to the lure of cultural giving" In other words, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

This doesn't happen all that often, at least to me: 2 orchestras on the same day in Disney Hall, each playing a big piece of mine. @LAPhil in morning with City Noir and @sfs_musicians SF Symphony with @esapekkasalonen in evening playing Naive & Sentimental Music.

@HellTweet Super excited for this. Flying out from CA! 😍
@HellTweet So good to see Fearful Symmetries is included. It’s been one of my faves since I saw you rehearse/perform it with London Sinfonietta in my first week as a composition student at @RoyalAcadMusic in 1989. Massively influential. 😀
@HellTweet Congratulations, dear John. All the best for El niño conducted by Maestra Marin Alsop at the Metropolitan Opera! Greetings from Caracas...
@HellTweet Talking of operas, your masterpiece “Nixon in China” astonished and amazed me - I saw it live once and the experience still lives within me. Thank you.
@HellTweet I would argue that fostering a culture where the new MD immediately feels like they have to leave because of a capricious board won’t inspire giving either.
Another noteworthy centenary, the premiere of Sibelius 7 on March 24, 1924 in Stockholm. My two-piano arrangement is now available on IMSLP (EU will have to wait for public domain in 2027). A favorite of mine and many others. imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_…

@HellTweet Happy Birthday, kind Sir!🙏I must say that many years ago your Harmonielehre changed my life... those great blocks of sound, the colors, the textures--it was staggering to me, like I'd jumped into a massive sonic paradise. I had to play it over and over... still do.❤️
Happy birthday, John Adams (@HellTweet)!
