Celebrating the musical creativity of a new generation of California composers, and marking its 78th season, the Ojai Music Festival will present the Creative Lab concert on November 11, as part of the statewide California Festival. It’s a four-day festival that welcomes up to 5,000 patrons and reaches 35 times more audiences worldwide through online and on-demand streaming of concerts and events throughout the year.
Esteemed pianist Mitsuko Uchida will serve as music director for this year’s festival. Pianist Conor Hanick will be performing new solo work by Samuel Carl Adams, as well as a trio for violin, clarinet, and vibraphone by Dylan Mattingly. Other performers include: Zelter String Quartet, vocalist Saili Oak, Sérgio Coelho on clarinet, Gallia Kastner on violin, Sidney Hopson on vibraphone, and MA Tiesenga on electronic hurdy-gurdy.
The Creative Lab Concert is produced in conjunction with a Green Umbrella program by the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group.
