Santa Cruz Symphony: Frankenstein!!!

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 5 weaves rich tessellations-like tapestries in sound, while Arnold Schönberg's loving arrangement of Johann Strauss II's Rosen aus dem Süden beguiles with its infectious blend of urbane nostalgia. HK Gruber, one of Europe's compositional luminaries, will travel to us from Vienna to perform in his playfully subversive and provocative Frankenstein!!, a 'pan-demonium' for chansonnier and orchestra, after (seemingly innocuous) children’s rhymes by H.C. Artmann.

BACH "Brandenburg Concerto no.5", STRAUSS II "Rosen aus dem Süden", and GRUBER "Frankenstein!!" with H.K. Gruber, chansonnier and composer.
