The Parish of St. Matthew

St. Matthew’s Music Guild continues its 39th season of concerts in Pacific Palisades on Friday, April 19 at 8:00pm with a concert by the critically acclaimed Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s and clarinetist Boris Allakhverdyan. The concert features Mr. Allakhverdyan in Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A major, plus David Diamond’s Concerto for Small Orchestra and the Sinfonia in C major by 18th century Viennese composer Marianna Martinez.
Boris Allakhverdyan was appointed Principal Clarinet of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2016. He previously served as Principal Clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. The New York Times has called his playing "inspired," "gorgeous" and "superlative," and the Los Angeles Times praised his "energetic, vibrant solos." In 2022 he and the Chamber Orchestra at St. Matthew’s presented the world-premiere of Richard Danielpour’s “Four Angels for Clarinet and String Orchestra,” commissioned by St. Matthew’s Music Guild.
Mr. Allakhverdyan has appeared as a soloist with orchestras throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, South Korea, Dubai, Armenia and Kazakhstan. He has participated in the Lucerne Festival Academy (Switzerland), the Mecklenburg-Vorpommen Festival (Germany), the Emilia Romagna Music Festival (Italy) as well as Mainly Mozart San Diego. Mr. Allakhverdyan is a winner of the Rimsky-Korsakov International Woodwind Competition, Hellam Concerto Competition, and the Tuesday Musical and the Oberlin Concerto competitions.
Allakhverdyan serves on the faculty at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as well as at California State University, Fullerton
David Diamond was one of the preeminent American composers of the mid-20th century. He was a longtime member of the faculty at the Juilliard School and Composer-in-Residence for the Seattle Symphony. The Concerto for Small Orchestra was composed in 1940 and is representative of his straight-forward, energetic compositional style.
Mariana Martinez was a prolific composer in Vienna during the time of Mozart and Beethoven. She was the daughter of a Spanish diplomat stationed in Vienna where she enjoyed access to the leading intellectuals and artists of the time. She was a fine pianist who was frequently asked to perform for the Empress Maria Theresa. Surviving compositions include several masses and other choral works along with a number of keyboard sonatas and sinfonias for orchestra. Her musical style has been compared to that of Mozart and C.P.E. Bach.
All Music Guild concerts take place at St. Matthew’s Church, 1031 Bienveneda Ave., Pacific Palisades. Tickets are $45 or Music Guild Season pass. Passes for all remaining subscription concerts are available for as little as $165. A free pre-concert lecture offered by Music Director and Conductor begins at 7:10pm. For complete information, reserved tickets and season passes visit MusicGuildOnline.org or call (310) 573-7422.
