This tasting menu concert of brilliant and virtuosic short pieces is the perfect avant-garde music party and a great way to support Southwest Chamber Music. Before the concert, enjoy an assortment of treats from some of Pasadena’s finest restaurants.

Southwest continues its exploration of the musical world of Southeast Asia with this concert bringing together two passions of our group—Cambodia and Vietnam. From Vietnam, we offer a world premiere from Vu Nhat Tan and continue our advocacy for Nguyen Thien Dao and Ton That Tiet, the founding fathers of the Vietnamese avant- garde. From Cambodia, we bring together old friends of Southwest, Him Sophy and Chinary Ung. Soprano Elissa Johnston sings Sophy’s moving The Decline of Angkor.

Songs & Poems
Put your head around the widely different world views of the stochastic geometry of Iannis Xenakis versus the lyrical minimalism of Philip Glass. In between, Anne Le Baron’s Hsing will add the perfect touch with the magical sounds of the solo harp. This concert features three of our superb musicians, double bassist Tom Peters, harpist Alison Bjorkedal and cellist Peter Jacobson.

Into the Diaspora: Earthquakes & Sunrise Missions
Moths, Flames & the Giant Sequoia Redwood Trees
Taif—Prayer in the Garden of the Hijaz
There is truly no music like that of Wadada Leo Smith. His notational system of Ankrahsmation treats all instruments and all genres of music with true equality. Smith joins Southwest for Taif—Prayer in the Garden of the Hijaz utilizing a four speaker surround-sound computer montage with string quartet, trumpet and a wide array of percussion. In the Diaspora is his fourth string quartet, while Moths, Flames & the Giant Sequoia Redwood Trees celebrates the largest trees on earth, found only in California.
