This concert will feature Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major\, the only one he wrote\, which owes a clear debt to Debussy\, and Schubert’s String Quartet in G Major\, his last and greatest quartet\, with its lyrical ideas and major and minor modes.\nThe players …are particularly good at producing a beautifully rounded and unified sound\, as well as showing a generous sense of musical camaraderie.”- Los Angeles Times \n\n\n \n \n2023 Featured Composer: Maurice Ravel\n \nFor 2023\, Susan Waterfall’s composer series will feature the innovative and influential Maurice Ravel. Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime with narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Ravel’s work across the Festival. \nExplore the Series \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote.

OLATUJA blends Afro-Beat\, Jazz\, Funk\, and Soul. \nPraised by the New York Times as “a singer with a strong and luscious tone and an amiably regal presence on stage\,” Alicia Olatuja has been captivating audiences with her exquisite vocals and artistic versatility. She first came into the national spotlight while performing as the featured soloist with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir at President Barack Obama’s second inauguration. Shortly thereafter\, she assembled her own jazz-based ensemble and recorded her first solo album. \n…from the start this band made rhythm paramount. Mr. Olatuja\, who grew up both Lagos\, Nigeria\, and London\, favors an amalgam of West African styles\, often overlaid with soul and gospel harmony. Ms. Olatuja is an American gospel singer with a strong\, lustrous tone and an amiable regal presence onstage.”- New York Times \n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.
