Original seasonal letter from Stephanie Key:

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our seventh season of music!

In this season of Rebeginnings, we will revisit old friendships, and start new ones, with composers who have reinvented themselves and everything they knew. All the while, we will reboot the way you listen, and reconfigure the very nature of music. Not all by ourselves, of course. We’ll have help. From Beethoven to Stockhausen to Cage, we present a season of composers who have known when to throw away the textbook.

Join us to hear the trio that Brahms came out of retirement to write, having been inspired by a talented clarinetist. And John Cage, master of the unique, will demand that we completely rethink music in 4’33”. New composers bring rejuvenation: In September, SOLI will premiere David Heuser’s most recent work, Catching Updrafts; and the refreshing, new sounds of Aaron Jay Kernis, the youngest composer to receive the Pulitzer Prize, appear twice. And since every restart must get a refinish, or at least a repast … we celebrate the season at our spring benefit at Silo Elevated Cuisine, where we will present Four Seasons of Futurist Cuisine. Aaron Jay Kernis’ witty and hilarious music is brilliantly paired with the text of nineteenth century Italian Futurist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who rallied the people to rise from mediocrity into the industrial age — through his countrymen’s stomachs! This clever collaboration will be realized through the divine explorations of chef Mark Bliss.

I look forward to seeing you throughout the season.

Stephanie Key, President and Artistic Director

This season is dedicated to the memory of H.V. Doyle.
