The San Diego Symphony has offered us 20 tickets to their production of Invocations to the Spirits: Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 on Friday, November 21st at 11:00 AM. These tickets are offered on a first come, first served basis. As we normally get more RSVP requests than we have available seats, please help us all out by only requesting what you plan to use and if your plans change let us know ASAP so that we can offer the tickets to someone else. There are no guarantees beyond the first 20 seats requested.
Please RSVP no later than noon on Sunday, November 16th using the form below. I will send out instructions to receive tickets when I get confirmation back from the Symphony. Tickets are electronic, so your email will be necessary. There will be no physical tickets distributed.
This is part of a new partnership with the Symphony and should be a great experience!
Any RSVP requests in excess will be placed on a waitlist and tickets allocated based on cancellations. If your plans change please let Joe Zilvinskis know at Joe@pozabilities.org or (619) 948-5946.
Invocations to the Spirits: Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4
Anja Bihlmaier, conductor
Steven Osborne, piano
San Diego Symphony Orchestra
OLLY WILSON: Shango Memory
BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58
SIBELIUS: Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 39
The power of music to suggest our deepest feelings of spiritual awe has been understood since ancient times. In this program, three composers write pieces which capture the human yearning for another level of experience. The late great African American composer Olly Wilson drew on his roots in jazz and the music of his African ancestors to suggest the terrifying power of Shango, the ancient Yoruba god of thunder and lightning. In the slow movement of his Fourth Piano Concerto, Beethoven calls to mind the Greek divinity Orpheus, who tamed wild beasts with the beauty of his music. Sibelius’ First Symphony plunges deep into the imaginary mystical mythology of prehistoric Finland.
