2010 FALL FESTIVAL
The second annual Fall Festival will feature Yo-Yo Ma and The Knights chamber orchestra, Patti LuPone, and Bill Frisell. A special benefit for the Rosen House will be held on Saturday, October 2. Performers and programs are subject to change.
SEPTEMBER 24
Friday, 8:00pm ~ Spanish Courtyard
Tickets: $25.00, $35.00 order online
Bill Frisell, guitar, loops; Tony Sherr, bass; Rudy Royston, drums
Unclassifiable, eclectic, unique, omnivorous, Bill Frisell has crafted an approach to improvisation that has made him one of the revered guitarists in jazz and American music since the late '80s. Constantly exploring and conjuring worlds of sound-mesmerizing in their beauty and humor-Frisell, his trio, and his free use of electronic effects seamlessly woven into his improvisations launch the fall festival into orbit.
Bill Frisell plays the guitar like Miles Davis played the trumpet: in the hands of such radical thinkers, their instruments simply become different animals. And, like Davis, Frisell loves to have a lot of legroom when he improvises--the space that terrifies others quickens his blood. -- The New Yorker

Both a household name and a classical Music icon, Yo-Yo Ma is welcomed everywhere in the world for his generous humanity, peerless virtuosity and musical imagination. His visits to Caramoor, dating from the earliest years of his career, have always been special events and occasions of exceptional audience delight. In this concert, featuring two works for cello and orchestra, Yo-Yo will be joined by The Knights, a chamber orchestra of young colleagues with whom he enjoys close collaborations in the Silk Road Project.
The program is a particularly appealing and accessible mix of lesser known works by well-known composers and new discoveries from exotic locales.
Few ensembles are as adept at mixing old music with new as the dynamic young Brooklyn orchestra. (The Knights) -The New Yorker

All Mozart
The brilliant young musicians from Caramoor's mentoring programs - Rising Stars, Bel Canto Young Artists, Vocal Rising Stars and the Ernst Stiefel String-Quartet-in-Residence - perform together in a program of scintillating, youthful works by Mozart. It's illuminating to hear performances by Mozart's peers-in-age. Celebrate a showcase of Caramoor and youth in the magnificent Music Room!
Mentoring programs have been central to Caramoor's mission since 1992 (Rising Stars). These programs identify, nurture and present the next generation of prodigiously talented young musicians. In the advanced stages of their training, or early professional careers, these carefully selected young artists come to Caramoor to work closely with master artists in coaching sessions and performances.
