Pacific Serenades Begins 24th Season

Pacific Serenades begins its 24th season at Neighborhood Church, Pasadena, on Sunday, Jan. 31. This group, under the leadership of Mark Carlson, brings true artistry of the chamber ensemble in unpretentious programming. The first concert, typical of Carlson’s style, presents Brahms String Quintet in F-major; Bartok’s “from 44 Duos for two violins”; and a new work, “Quintessence for two violins, two violas, and cello” by 25 year-old composer, Jeff Kryka. Why should you be interested in Kryka’s work? The adventurous music in 2010 is new music. Kryka’s youthful enthusiasm expresses it well: “It’s been a blast writing this piece, and I can’t wait to hear it performed”. You need to be on hand to be of a part of Kryka’s musical growth. Other Pacific Serenades concerts at Neighborhood Church: March 7, April 24 and June 6. Tickets: (213) 534-3434.
