The Dutchman, a ghostly sailor condemned to wander for all eternity, sets foot on land every seven years to search for a bride who can end the curse and bring him peace. In a small Norwegian fishing village he encounters Senta, a young woman betrothed to a young man in the village. She is obsessed with the Dutchman’s legend. Can this finally be his chance for redemption? Can the power of true love break the curse and end his suffering?

A joyous paean to the City of Lights. Tourists and natives alike on a madcap pleasure binge as the high and the lowly switch places. A wild ride on a merry-go-round sparked by Offenbach’s wickedly intoxicating melodies.
“Voila! Donald Pippin, bless him, has done it again. A parody that is really thrilling in effect! Tunes flow by with the sparkle of a mountain stream in this delicious spoof.”
— Marilyn Tucker, SF Chronicle
sfSound Summer Festival

sfSound presents sfSoundFestival: a three-concert celebration of 20th and 21st century music covering a wide range of graphical notation performed by some of the best interpreters of such music in the Bay Area. Unlike most music in the classical tradition, works with extended notational elements often require performers to decide aspects of the music usually left to the composer.
This year the festival pays tribute to Pierre Boulez, who passed away in January, with two large works for soloists – one for violin with electronics and one for clarinet with chamber orchestra. Both pieces include aleatoric elements where the performers select certain aspects of the music to play from an array of given choices.
From the American experimental tradition, we feature two composers from the New York School: rarely heard box-notation works for large ensemble by Morton Feldman and graphical and modular pieces by Earle Brown. Also included are compositions that continue (and pre-date) the American and European traditions from the 1950s to the present day with influences from Jazz, Electronic Music, Indie-Pop, Modern Art, and Psychoacoustics: pieces by Kyle Bruckmann, John Cage, Matt Ingalls, Pauline Oliveros, and improvisations by sfSoundGroup.
