Berkeley Chamber Performances presents Sakura image

Please join Berkeley Chamber Performances in welcoming the Sakura to our stage on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 7:30 p.m at the Berkeley City Club. A unique and versatile cello quintet, hailed as “brilliant” and “superb” by Mark Swed in the Los Angeles Times, the SAKURA Cello Quintet is built on the artistry and virtuosity of its members: Stella Cho, Michael Kaufman, Benjamin Lash, Yoshika Masuda, and Peter Myers. Its name honors the great Ralph Kirshbaum, with whom all five members studied: sakura (桜) (Japanese) and Kirschbaum (German) have the same meaning: “cherry tree”, an organism whose flowers have five petals. Playing by memory, this group has a very expressive sonority and an eclectic mix of repertoire from classical to modern, from Dowland and Boccherini to Brahms to Bernstein and Star Wars.

PROGRAM:

Benjamin Britten: Dawn from Four Sea Interludes

Gabriel Fauré: Cinq mélodies "de Venise", Op. 58

Franz Schubert: Erlkönig

Antonín Dvořák: Silent Woods

Manuel de Falla: Ritual Dance

Peter Myers: Stratigraphy

Claude Debussy: Clair de Lune
