SUMMARY:Escher String Quartet with Luke Fleming\, Viola  November 01\, 2025   Sunset Center\, Carmel
DESCRIPTION:The extraordinary Escher String Quartet will open our 59th Season at Sunset Center on November 1st\, and will be joined by violist Luke Fleming for a program of Haydn\, Rogerson\, and Brahms. Described by the Guardian as “one of the finest quartets of their generation\,” we welcome the Escher back for their third performance for Chamber Music Monterey Bay. The Brahms and the Rogerson are viola quintets\, which are works less frequently programmed (one has to hire an additional musician!) and feature an especially rich sound courtesy of the two violas. We are fortunate to have the acclaimed violist Luke Fleming as CMMB’s Artistic Program Director\, and he will join the Escher Quartet as a performer in the viola quintets. The Gramophone lauded Mr. Fleming’s “superlative technical and artistic execution.” \nComposer Chris Rogerson’s compositions have been praised for their “haunting beauty” and “virtuosic exuberance” by The New York Times\, and celebrated for their lyricism. The Philadelphia Inquirer hailed him as a “big discovery.” Rogerson has composed music for cellist Yo-Yo Ma\, violinist Benjamin Beilman\, pianist Anne-Marie McDermott\, the Dover Quartet\, and many others. His music has been programmed at venues around the world. He was awarded the 2022 Stoeger Prize from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\, the highest honor awarded for contributions to chamber music. Chamber Music Monterey Bay co-commissioned the Rogerson viola quintet and the performance in Carmel will be the West Coast Premiere. We invite you to join us for our Season Opening performance and for Escher’s “high voltage interpretations” (The Strad).\nThe concert will be preceded by a 30-minute talk by violist and Artistic Program Director Luke Fleming. These informative and entertaining talks begin at 6:30 and will provide ticket-holders with deeper insight into the evening’s program.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.

This brilliant\, colorful\, and intoxicating new work pairs one of the greatest composers of our time\, Steven Mackey\, with one of the most dynamic soloists working today\, saxophonist Timothy McAllister. It’s not to be missed\, nor is Rachmaninoff’s dramatic and tuneful Symphony No. 2\, one of my favorite pieces in the repertoire\,” says Jayce Ogren. \n“McAllister possesses a rare and special virtuosity which I’ve become familiar with through various collaborations over the past 20 years. His playing howls\, grooves\, flutters\, and flows like the wind\,” says Mackey. Mackey worked closely with McAllister during the composition process to explore the saxophone’s range of sounds\, textures\, and extended techniques\, shaping the wind-inspired sound world the composer envisioned. “In Anemology\, the saxophone soloist is the wind\, and the orchestra is the landscape\, topography\, scenery\, etc. that is stirred and animated by its movement\,” says Mackey. \nSATURDAY: \nAll Saturday night patrons are invited to an opening night pre-concert party in the Sunset Center lobby. Guests will be treated to live music\, one complimentary glass of champagne\, and a photobooth. The event is 6:00-7:30 PM and is included with all concert tickets. Additionally\, a pre-concert lecture by Musicologist Christopher Anderson-Bazzoli with guest composer Steve Mackey will be held on Saturday\, 6:30-7:00 PM in the Sunset Center auditorium. \nSUNDAY:\nThe Symphony Lobby Sessions return this season with live music in the lobby from 1:30-1:50 PM.

SUMMARY:Art of Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:What if art could change lives? \nA powerful new exhibit at the County of Monterey Administration building in Salinas proves it can. The installation showcases work by inmates from Soledad Correctional Training Facility—videos\, audio\, poetry and visual pieces that reveal the transformative potential of creativity and rehabilitation behind bars. \nCreated through the Life on Art’s – Rehabilitation program\, these works are more than art—they’re part of a proven strategy to reduce recidivism and prepare inmates for successful reentry into society. The program complements existing education and mental health services\, giving incarcerated individuals a vital tool for self-expression and healing. \nEach piece tells a story. Hear directly from the artists themselves as they share the thoughts\, struggles\, and hopes that shaped their work. This isn’t just an art show—it’s a window into the humanity of people often unseen\, and a testament to the rehabilitative power of creative expression.
