Ahh. It’s high time for some serious German expressionism at the old SLSO. I’ve been hired on to be the grande tam tam maestro for Alban Berg’s Drei Orchesterstucke. That’s Three Pieces for the uninitiated which included yours truly until very recently. This is a dense work and not one that gives up it’s secrets on the first hearing. Or the second. By the fourth time through you have something to hang your brain on and that’s when it gets interesting. Verrry interesting.
