Full details:
"Matt Haimovitz may be the coolest cellist of our time," according to the Boston Herald. "Classically trained but keenly attuned to the possibilities of electronica, composer Mason Bates is making waves in both the club scene and the orchestra world," Symphony magazine states. And so these two mavericks will come together with a common conception about how a classical recital can be quite an uncommon experience. Haimovitz will present a solo cello recital including works by Ned Rorem, Osvaldo Golijov, David Sanford, and Gilles Tremblay; while Mason Bates (well known in the trip-hop scene in the Bay Area and beyond as DJ Masonic) will create an electronica soundscape between pieces. Introduced during this Cabrillo Festival experience, two brilliant talents-Haimovitz and Bates-will come together for the very first time in an evening that promises to explode the audience's notion of a traditional cello recital.
