VIVO’s 12th season kicks off with "Origins," an evening of performance and conversation, welcoming all with reserved seating in advance or pay-what-you-want pricing at the door. Brandon Ridenour's arrangements for trumpet, clarinet and piano explore the rich variety of the American songbook, while Béla Bartók's late chamber work Contrasts showcases an omnivorous compositional voice shaped in part by American jazz and popular music following his immigration to the United States during World War II.
In place of a traditional intermission, VIVO Artistic Directors offer insight into the program as it unfolds with onstage conversations, before the evening culminates in Amy Beach’s unrepentantly romantic Piano Quintet.
All events are subject to change.
