Saturday, February 6, 2010 - 8:00 pm | Cost: FREE

New on the Bay Area classical scene, the Bergamo Ensemble opens their spring concert season with a free performance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. On the program are works from the 20th and 21st centuries, including Arnold Schoenberg’s fantastical melodrama Pierrot Lunaire.

Originally composed for a cabaret singer, the work follows the melancholy, moon-drunk clown Pierrot through his night-time adventures. Also on the program are the Debussy Sonata for Cello and Piano, Alban Berg’s Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano, Webern’s Seven Piano Variations, and works by John Peel, Willamette University’s composer-in-residence.
