Alex Theatre

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), under the baton of Music Director Jaime Martín, presents the world premiere of Artistic Advisor Derrick Skye’s To Be A Horizon, on Saturday, April 20, 2024, 8 pm, at Glendale’s Alex Theatre, and Sunday, April 21, 2024, 7 pm, at UCLA’s Royce Hall. Skye describes his LACO-commissioned work as “a musical travelogue that integrates musical practices from numerous cultures into a Western classical setting.” 
The program, featuring works that unifies, continues with Assistant Concertmaster Tereza Stanislav and Principal Viola Yura Lee sharing their stellar artistry as soloists on Mozart’s searingly beautiful Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major for violin and viola. Beethoven’s transitional Symphony No. 4, a work celebrating Beethoven’s legacy of breaking musical boundaries and noted for its cheerfulness, caps the concert.
Skye’s To Be A Horizon combines formal western classical music with West African music and dance, Persian music theory, Balkan music theory, and Hindustani classical music. The American-born composer is himself of Ghanaian, Nigerian, British, Irish, and Native American ancestry, and he seeks to create a new American music aesthetic reflective of his and the country’s diversity. To Be A Horizon is Part 3 of a larger orchestral suite entitled Prisms, Cycles, Leaps that bridges the space between multiple music cultures. 
 
Tickets ($32-$142) may be purchased online at laco.org or by calling LACO at 213 622 7001 x1. Discounted tickets are also available by phone for seniors 65 years of age and older and for students.

Janet & Ray Scherr Forum Theatre

“Camerata Pacifica Baroque: The French Dispatch” explores French Baroque repertoire both rarely heard and familiar in the second and final offering in the acclaimed chamber collective’s inaugural period instrument Baroque series curated by and featuring eminent flutist Emi Ferguson, known for her fresh approach to programming and boundary-stretching performances. This engaging program of 17th and 18th
century French vocal and instrumental works performed by some of the country’s leading Baroque experts is presented on Sunday, April 21, 3 pm, at Thousand Oak’s Janet and Ray Scherr Forum; Tuesday, April 23, 7:30 pm, at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino; Thursday, April 25, 8 pm, at Zipper Hall in Downtown Los Angeles; Friday, April 26, 2024, 7:30 pm, in Hahn Hall at Santa Barbara’s Music Academy. 
Clérambault’s breathtaking cantata Pirame et Tisbé features acclaimed Grammy-winning Lebanese American tenor Karim Sulayman, whose voice is “pure heaven” (The Arts Desk). He also performs four works by Anne Madeleine Guédon de Presles, a French composer, singer, and actress, who in the early 18th century became the first known French woman to publish a collection of arias. 
 
Joining Ferguson and Sulayman are violinist Rachell Ellen Wong, noted for performances that are “scorching hot, accurate, and thrilling” (Broadway World) and the first Baroque violinist to receive a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant; harpsichordist Michael Sponseller, acclaimed for his “remarkable spectrum of sounds” (Cleveland Classical); Grammy-winning guitarist Stephen Stubbs, a leading figure in the American early music scene for three decades; and, on viola da gamba, Doug Balliett, a professor of baroque bass at The Juilliard School hailed for his “elegantly played” performances (The New York Times).
The program opens with Third Suite in A Major from Pièces de Clavecin en Concert, Rameau’s adaptations of his keyboard works for chamber ensemble, and concludes with Telemann’s Paris Quartet No. 12 in E Minor, TWV 43:e4, a milestone of the chamber genre.
Camerata Pacifica is renowned for its musical versatility and bold programming that demonstrate the limitless scope of the chamber music repertoire.

Atwater Village Theatre

Los Angeles theater survives and thrives on community collaboration now more than ever. In conjunction with AAPI Heritage Month, Chalk Repertory Theatre will present the world premiere of PANG SPA directed by Reena Dutt
in collaboration with EST/LA’s world premiere production of TWO STOP directed by Tracey A. Leigh. Penned by David Johann Kim, these two world premieres are companion pieces centered around themes related to the 1992 L.A. Uprising. Both plays will be presented during AAPI Heritage Month between May 2 and June 9, 2024, at Atwater Village Theatre. This collaboration is a part of Center Theatre Group’s L.A. Artist Residency program, a division of the new CTG:Forward initiative.
TWO STOP takes place on the verge of the ’92 L.A. Uprising. A Korean market. A murder scene. A store owner and a neighborhood teenage girl face off. When her wild card mother arrives, secrets from the past explode in this tiny store. History and histories go head-to-head as L.A. starts to burn. Together they reach back decades and across the globe through war, strife and love, finding connection and even hope.
In PANG SPA, Daniel Pang returns home to L.A.’s Koreatown stepping into an unexpected life. Twenty years after the L.A. Uprising, the family business is gone, his brother is gone, and his parents are disappearing with dementia. As Daniel juggles his parents’ care and idiosyncratic neighbors a flinty young army vet arrives on a mission forcing him to confront his past. PANG SPA is a Los Angeles, K-town dramedy celebrating family, memory and identity through a journey of healing. 
TWO STOP
runs May 2 (opens May 4) through June 9, with performances taking place on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. on May 5, 12, 19 and June 2; and Sundays at 7 p.m. on May 26 and June 9. There is a Hapa Night performance on May 17, and an AAPI Day celebration performance on May 26.
