OJAI MUSIC FESTIVAL’S CREATIVE LAB CONCERT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CALIFORNIA FESTIVAL

Saturday, November 11, 2023, Greenberg Center at Ojai Valley School lower campus

The Ojai Music Festival presents a special concert celebrating the unique musical creativity of a new generation of California composers, produced as part of the California Festival: A Celebration of New Music. The program brings together a new work for solo piano by Samuel Carl Adams for the brilliant pianist Conor Hanick and a kinetic trio for violin, clarinet, and vibes by Dylan Mattingly. MA Tiesenga’s Ganymedes brings together the otherworldly sound of an electronic hurdy-gurdy playing with amplified string quartet. And Reena Esmail’s Ragamala adds the mesmerizing sound of Hindustani vocals to a string quartet, evoking the tradition sounding the raga as a starting point for elaboration and reflection.

 

The Ojai Festival Creative Lab concert is in conjunction with a Green Umbrella program by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, featuring different, larger-scale works by the same four composers on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at Walt Disney Concert Hall. 

 

Ojai’s Creative Lab will be held at the Greenberg Center at the Ojai Valley School (723 El Paseo Road). Tickets are $25 per person and college/high school price is $15. Tickets are available by calling 805-646-2053 and online at Ojai Music Festival @ California Festival: Nov 11, 2023 – Ojai Music Festival (ojaifestival.org)
