Program
Saint-Saëns: “Danse Bacchanale” from Samson et Dalila
Jason Anthony Gomez: Potentia (*WORLD PREMIERE* commission by OSM)
– Jubilant Sykes, baritone/narrator
– Anne Carmack , writer of poem Potentia
Elgar: Enigma Variations
About this performance: There are some shared themes between this concert and our fall concert, although there are certainly some marked contrasts. The “Danse Bacchanale” by Camille Saint-Saëns is another dance (alluding to Anna Clyne’s DANCE), but with bacchanale referring to a wild party with drunken revelry. And Potentia is a new work based upon a poem, as was DANCE. Commissioned by Orchestra Santa Monica, Potentia presents a poem of the same name written by Anne Carmack, Santa Monica’s first poet laureate. Composed by Jason Anthony Gomez and narrated/sung by the renowned baritone Jubilant Sykes, OSM is proud to perform the world premiere of this moving work depicting passages of life. Edward Elgar‘s fourteen variations on an original theme, aka the Enigma Variations, represent meaningful personal relationships in the composer’s life, with each variation being a sketch of one of his friends, and including himself.
Free tickets will be available starting ~6 weeks before the concert. Sign up for our newsletter to receive OSM news and announcements.
Tickets are for open seating, so you may want to arrive early to save your seat(s). Late seating is not guaranteed.

Gurrelieder’s lush Romantic atmosphere, hyper-emotional language, endless melody, and sprawling scale bring to mind names like Wagner or Mahler. Arnold Schoenberg composed the cantata as a monument to late Romanticism before landing on his expressionist style that helped set off a musical revolution in the 20th century. Gurrelieder’s massive scale—calling for five soloists, multiple choirs, a narrator, and gargantuan orchestra—has made it a rarely performed but beloved masterpiece.
Equally rare are conductors who know how to navigate the piece, and LA Phil Conductor Emeritus Zubin Mehta is an expert in revealing the operatic emotion and architecture of Gurrelieder having conducted the LA Phil premiere, recording it multiple times, and choosing it for his final concert as NY Phil Music Director. Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience Mehta return to one of his signature pieces with the epic and poetic Gurrelieder.

Brahms X Radiohead is an epic symphonic synthesis of Radiohead’s album OK Computer and the Brahms First Symphony, composed for full symphony orchestra and three solo vocalists. The piece offers a reimagined experience of each work by seeing it through the lens of the other, exploring the explosive tension and deep pathos they have in common. Brahms’ 19th-century orchestral sound palette is used throughout, but woven in, superimposed, and inserted are the melodies and music of Radiohead. At times one hears the themes and lyrics of Radiohead suspended over Brahms’ symphony; at times the orchestra plays the music of Radiohead but filtered through the counterpoint and harmonies of Brahms. Every combination of synthesis is explored in Hackman’s recomposition, as the music moves from one to the other so seamlessly that many times the audience is left wondering which is which, and how the combination was even possible.

A tribute to The Beatles,
backed by a Symphony Orchestra.
Imagine The Beatles playing in concert with a symphony orchestra. What would that have sounded like? Find out for yourself when Classical Mystery Tour performs live in concert.
“These four musicians are jaw-droppingly accurate…the concept is a Beatles concert if the lads had been accompanied by a gifted symphony orchestra.” – Cape Cod Times
The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock concert. The full show presents some two dozen Beatles tunes sung, played, and performed exactly as they were written. Hear “Penny Lane” with a live trumpet section; experience the beauty of “Yesterday” with an acoustic guitar and string quartet; enjoy the rock/classical blend on the hard edged “I Am the Walrus.” From early Beatles music on through the solo years, Classical MysteryTour is the best of The Beatles like you’ve never heard them: totally live.
Classical Mystery Tour features Jim Owen on rhythm guitar, piano, and vocals; Tony Kishman on bass guitar, piano, and vocals; Tom Teeley on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Camilleri on drums and vocals. Martin Herman, who transcribed the musical scores note for note from Beatles recordings, conducts many of the Classical Mystery Tourconcerts.
Classical Mystery Tour has been delighting pops audiences for more than 22 years, performing concerts with more than 100 orchestras in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The group played sold out concerts at the Sydney Opera House, and has performed with America’s most prestigious orchestras, including the Cleveland Orchestra, The Boston Pops, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The San Francisco Symphony, and many more.
The Los Angeles Times called the show “more than just an incredible simulation…the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave Saturday’s live performance a high goose-bump quotient…the crowd stood and bellowed for more.”
Because many Beatles fans never had the opportunity to experience a live Beatles show, Classical Mystery Tour provides that opportunity. Experience the excitement of Classical Mystery Tour with a symphony orchestra, coming soon to a city near you!
Featuring internationally renowned guest conductor, Vlad Vizireanu
There is magic in music, and this concert is the perfect example of this statement as all three pieces on the program include magical characters, fairy tale aspects, and beautiful stories behind the music. The Magic Flute Overture combines popular musical themes from one of Mozart’s most famous works and the music is truly immortal with its beauty, excitement, and perfect compositional structure. Both Ravel’s Mother Goose and Stravinsky’s Firebird were written for ballets, and the sense of dance as well as the theatrical grandeur within the music is absolutely breathtaking. This is a concert for all ages with music that has stood the test of time to carry and bring us these compelling tales. Award-winning and world-renowned guest conductor, Vlad Vizireanu will lead the Orchestra through this musical journey.
