Daniel Hope
Music Director and Concertmaster
Rediscover centuries-old classics in a completely new light, with two works that infuse music of the Baroque period with shimmering contemporary flourishes. Following the festive splash of one of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Novelletten for Strings, David Bruce uses brief sequences from the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully to create a vibrant kaleidoscope of sound in the U.S. premiere of his Lully Loops. Afterwards, fall in love with The Four Seasons all over again through Max Richter’s mesmerizing reimagining of Vivaldi’s timeless masterpiece, which preserves the original’s emotional depth and enduring appeal for generations to come.

Inon Barnatan - Piano
Guest Artist
Praised by The New York Times as “one of the most admired pianists of his generation,” Inon Barnatan joins New Century for a program of music written to distract from life’s challenges. Experience C.P.E. Bach's dramatic third keyboard concerto, blending melancholy with bursts of impeccable brilliance. Rich with iconic musical allusions, Dmitri Shostakovich’s delightfully madcap first piano concerto also features a solo trumpet, performed by San Francisco Symphony Associate Principal Aaron Schuman, which adds punctuation to the vibrant score. Bela Bartók's Divertimento, with its jubilant Hungarian folk rhythms, reflects a sunny interlude in Switzerland before the composer’s relocation to the U.S. This captivating musical adventure, full of witty melodies and unexpected twists, will brighten your spirits during the darkest time of the year.

A PRAYER FOR PEACE
Friday, April 4, 2025 at 7:30pm
First Congregational Church, Berkeley
Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 2:00pm
St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, San Francisco
Sunday, April 6, 2025 at 3:00pm
St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Belvedere
Daniel Hope
Music Director and Concertmaster
Contemplate the music of three composers from the 20th and 21st centuries in their contrasting searches for peace. Adolphus Hailstork’s joyful Sonata da Chiesa for strings invites religious meditation as it builds an opulent cathedral of sound in the style of a grand choral mass. In contrast, Jungyoon Wie’s masterful A Prayer for Peace (a New Century co-commission with A Far Cry) makes poignant use of repetition and variation to represent the composer’s own evolution in her journey as a Korean immigrant to the United States. Finally, the remarkable and intimate Metamorphosen—Richard Strauss’s late-in-life string masterpiece—stands undimmed as a memorial for the victims of war and as inspiration to rebuild after tragedy.
