Chamber Music Palisades

Chamber Music Palisades 17th Season Will Open

October 22nd with Sutre Duo and World Premiere

 The duo of violinist Guilliame Sutre and
harpist Kyunghee Kim-Sutre, first prize winners of the “Lily Laskine”
International Chamber Music Competition, will be featured performers when
Chamber Music Palisades presents the opening concert of its 2013-2014
season.  Now in its 17th
consecutive year, CMP concerts are performed in the Charles Moore designed
sanctuary of St. Matthew’s Parish in Pacific Palisades.

The duo will perform a Fantasie by
Camille Saint-Saens and will then separate, with violinist Guillaume joining
pianist Delores Stevens in Mozart’s Sonata K380 and Kim-Sutre will perform
Jolivet’s “Pastorales de Noel” with flutist Susan Greenberg and bassoonist Judith
Farmer.  Stevens, Greenberg and Farmer
will then combine to present the World Premiere of a work by Gernot Wolfgang
that was commissioned by CMP.

Guillaume Sutre, now Professor of Violin
and Director of Chamber Music at UCLA, was 18 years old when he won three major
awards including first prize in the A. Curci International Violin Competition
in Naples, Italy, the International Piano Trio ARD Competition in Munich,
Germany, and the International Chamber Music Competition in Indiana. He has
since toured the world as a soloist, chamber musician and educator.  His recordings of the complete duets of Haydn
and Mozart have been hailed by critics as definitive.  In 1999 he was named Chevalier of the Order
of Arts and the Letters by the French government.

Harpist Kim-Sutre has received the
Premier Prix de Harpe a L’Unanimite from the Paris Conservatoire Superieur de
Musique.  She continues to perform
concerts in France, Italy and the U.S. 
She began her harp studies at Seoul University and completed her bachelor’s
degree at Curtis Institute of Music.

 Composer Gernot Wolfgang has been
described by executives at Gramophone as having a “winning sonic arsenal” and
by jazz legend Dave Brubeck, who described Gernot’s music as having an “unconventional
beauty”.  While he is a graduate of the
“Scoring for Motion Pictures and TV” at USC and holds a degree from the Berklee
College of Music in Boston, Gernot is a native of Austria where he earned his
first degree at the Graz University of Music.

 Now celebrating their 17th
season, CMP Co-Founders Susan Greenberg and Delores Stevens have been steadfast
in their mission to bring the finest available musicians to the Westside
performing the great music of the past and present.  A special feature of these concerts has been
the live commentary by KUSC’s popular on-air host, Alan Chapman, who has been
introducing each work since the inception of the series in 1997.
