composed in the last 100 years by composers Maurice Ravel, Norman Dello Joio,


George Gershwin and jazz composer, Michael Publig.


            “We are especially excited about this program because, while the works range


from the very early 20th century to the present, they all have rhythmic and tonal


innovation in common,” said Delores Stevens and Susan Greenberg, CMP Co-Artistic


Directors.


            The concert will begin at 8 pm in CMP’s familiar home, the Charles


Moore-designed sanctuary at St. Matthew’s Parish on Bienveneda in Pacific Palisades.


            Celebrated violinist Ida Levin will join pianist Stevens to perform


 Ravel’s radiant Sonata for Violin and Piano.  Winner of the International Johannes


 Brahms Competition, cellist Alexander Suleiman, will join flutist Greenberg


and pianist Stevens in Dello Joio’s Trio for Flute, Cello and Piano.  Greenberg and


 Stevens will be joined by acclaimed bassoonist Judith Farmer to perform the World


Premiere of  “time in_time out”, a new work by Michael Publig.  Finally, a medley of


songs by George Gershwin will be sung by soprano Karen Benjamin, who starred in


the original Los Angeles production of Phantom of the Opera and with the Pittsburgh


Symphony Orchestra in a tribute to Stephen Sondheim.


             Now in its 16th consecutive season of presenting the finest musicians in the


Southland in intimate chamber programs, Chamber Music Palisades is also active in


presenting free concerts in local schools.  CMP has presented more than 35 school music


programs since its inception in 1997.
