SUMMARY:SAKURA Cello Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Join the dazzling cello quintet SAKURA with “RENEWAL”\, a voyage through life\, love\, and the richly vibrant sound of five cellos. SAKURA\, hailed by the LA Times as “brilliant . . . superb”\, is built on the artistry and virtuosity of its members: Michael Kaufman\, Benjamin Lash\, Gabriel Martins\, Yoshika Masuda and Peter Myers. Drawing from the rich heritage of a repertoire that spans six centuries\, SAKURA opens new vistas of beauty and expression by showcasing the great warmth and scope of an instrument close to the heart of many listeners. In the tradition of the great chamber ensembles\, the quintet distills its interpretations through time\, reveling in the pure sonic pleasure of a unified and colorful sound. \nProgram\nSAKURA presents RENEWAL\nI.

 \nHABITAT: The theaters\, urban and natural\, in which life’s joys and challenges play out. \nDEATH AND RETURN: Two works dealing with fate and mortality\, followed by a lullaby composed by an old man\, thus completing the circle by connecting death back to birth \nABOUT SAKURA\n\nSAKURA operates in the tradition of the great chamber ensembles\, rehearsing extensively and distilling its interpretations through time. Its name honors the great mentor and artist Ralph Kirshbaum\, with whom all five members studied: 桜 sakura (Japanese) and Kirschbaum (German) have the same meaning “cherry tree”\, a plant whose flowers have five petals. \nPerformance highlights have included Brett Dean’s Twelve Angry Men in Walt Disney Concert Hall as part of the Piatigorsky International Cello Festival\, a world premiere of Thomas Mellan’s Concerto for Five Cellos with the USC Symphony\, and concert appearances across the country. SAKURA was awarded two prestigious grants to commission new cello quintets: a Tarisio grant for five young American composers and a New Music USA grant for Donald Crockett. This season includes performances in Los Angeles\, San Francisco\, and New Orleans. The quintet also serves as Young-Ensemble-in-Residence of the Da Camera Society. \n \n
