The Performance Calendar for the first month of next year at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) seems to have taken shape. The usual subject-to-change-without-notice caveat continues to hold, particularly since we are still under lockdown conditions. Furthermore, the course of live-stream technology at SFCM does not seem to be running as smoothly as one might expect (as I discovered last night). Nevertheless, since all that is required for viewing is making a reservation without charge, there is much to be gained, at least potentially, by taking one’s chances with the support technology. A reservation involves nothing more that providing an electronic mail address to which the hyperlink for the concert one wishes to attend will be sent. In that context here is the summary for the January events, each with a hyperlink to the respective event page, which includes the necessary hyperlink to establish attendance:
Friday, January 8, 7:30 p.m.: This will be a recital of performances by students in the Collaborative (as opposed to solo) Piano Department; and specifics about the program (performers, selections, and the hyperlink for reservations) will be provided to the event page closer to the scheduled date for the performance.
Friday, January 8, 7:30 p.m.: This will be a screening of a documentary concert film conceived by Music Director Edwin Outwater and produced by SFCM. Outwater will conduct the SFCM Orchestra in an eclectic assortment of selections. The earliest of these will be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s K. 361 serenade in B-flat major, scored for twelve wind instruments and string bass. The sixth of the seven movements of this composition, a set of variations on an Andante theme, will be performed. The twentieth century will be represented by Samuel Barber (“Mutations on Bach”), Morton Feldman (“Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety”), and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson (the third movement from his first sinfonietta). The most recent offerings will be Anna S. Þorvaldsdóttir’s “Hrím” and Ted Hearne’s “But I Voted for Shirley Chisolm,” scored for eleven instruments and tape. The first black woman to hold a seat in the House of Representatives, Chisolm (who died in 2005) has assumed somewhat iconic status in the hip hop community.
