The long-running Ojai Art Center hosts four classic chamber music concerts
each year on selected Sunday afternoons.
Chamber Music Concert
Sunday, September 18th, 3:00 p.m.
The Ojai Art Center presents an exciting, unique program of music for voice, piano, and oboe, written over the centuries from Bach to Judith Vander, a contemporary Ojai composer.
This concert will premiere Vander’s most recent work, Darwin Cantata, with a libretto made entirely of quotes from Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. The music of the Cantata is inspired by Bach cantatas. The program also includes movements from cantatas by Bach and Handel, as well as settings by Vander of poems by Shakespeare and William Blake. The musicians performing the concert are all superb professional artists of the area: Patricia Lathrop-McPherson, soprano; Kathleen McVicker, mezzo soprano; Bryan Lane, tenor; Andrew Petracca, bass; accompanied by Helen Farson, pianist, and Louis Grace, oboist.
