BACH FEST<br />
From page 1A<br />
<strong>June</strong> <strong>22</strong>, <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Carmel</strong> <strong>Pine</strong> <strong>Cone</strong> <strong>Real</strong> <strong>Estate</strong> 15 RE<br />
reopened California’s First <strong>The</strong>ater in Monterey, established<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Carmel</strong> Music Society, and founded <strong>the</strong> <strong>Carmel</strong> Bach<br />
Festival on a vision that <strong>the</strong> village should become a center<br />
of world-class music.”<br />
Gordon cited more examples of how this year’s festival is<br />
helping fulfill that vision.<br />
“It’s been fun for Paul and me to put toge<strong>the</strong>r a string of a<br />
dozen pieces, ending with <strong>the</strong> great glorious finale to<br />
Mozart’s Magic Flute,” Gordon offered.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r example would be <strong>the</strong> Thursday night Twilight<br />
Bach concert featuring Robin Blaze. <strong>The</strong> world-renowned<br />
countertenor will perform a program of Purcell songs and<br />
Bach masterpieces, accompanied on harpsichord by principal<br />
keyboardist Andrew Arthur.<br />
“Robin Blaze is an internationally celebrated countertenor,<br />
which means he sings in <strong>the</strong> vocal range of a contralto,<br />
mezzo-soprano or even a soprano,” said executive<br />
director Debbie Chinn, who is celebrating her first season<br />
with <strong>the</strong> festival. “Paul Goodwin has brought Robin front and<br />
center to introduce this art form as a very provocative part of<br />
our festival.”<br />
Perhaps most intriguing in this 75th season has been <strong>the</strong><br />
concerted effort to create a balance between revisiting and<br />
celebrating 74 years of music, and looking forward and continuing<br />
to grow and progress as a dynamic festival of <strong>the</strong> 21st<br />
century.<br />
“I believe <strong>the</strong> overwhelming feeling people will have this<br />
year,” said Gordon, “is a joyous response to <strong>the</strong> variety of<br />
music surprises which, perhaps, will dispel some of <strong>the</strong><br />
stereotypes of what <strong>the</strong> Bach Festival is. One wide stereotype<br />
is that it’s all about Bach. Yet audiences will hear <strong>the</strong> music<br />
of Handel, Mozart and Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and<br />
Tchaikovsky.<br />
“Ano<strong>the</strong>r stereotype is that <strong>the</strong> festival is all about old<br />
music and looking back. I love museums, but <strong>the</strong> performing<br />
arts should both preserve <strong>the</strong> past and create a future for<br />
music. <strong>To</strong> that end, audiences can anticipate a world premiere<br />
of modern, contemporary music written just for us. <strong>The</strong> Bach<br />
Festival always, somehow, comes back to Bach, but it is not<br />
always about Bach.”<br />
What keeps <strong>the</strong> festival going after more than seven<br />
decades, said Chinn, is that audiences find <strong>the</strong> programming<br />
so fresh. This year, guests can hear original performer and<br />
composer of bluegrass, classical and jazz Mike Marshall perform<br />
dueling mandolins with his wife, Germany’s renowned<br />
classical mandolinist Caterina Lichtenberg. On Wednesdays,<br />
<strong>the</strong> couple will play a range of music, from Brazilian folk<br />
music to Bach, plus a second program, from “Baroque to<br />
Bluegrass,” on Thursdays.<br />
“People seem bowled over by how many activities we present<br />
within just two weeks,” said Chinn. “<strong>The</strong>re is something<br />
for everyone, so we can’t possibly be bored. What we will be<br />
is a lot smarter and enriched by <strong>the</strong> end. <strong>The</strong> musical diversity<br />
really speaks to how relevant Bach remains. Even though<br />
his works were composed centuries ago, <strong>the</strong>re are so many<br />
access points to his music today.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Carmel</strong> Bach Festival runs from July 14 to 28. For<br />
