Music at Kohl Mansion

12/21/2024

Thank you, David Bratman and San Mateo Daily Journal, for this very thoughtful write-up of last Sunday's Holiday Celebration Concert by the San Francisco Girls Chorus at Music at Kohl Mansion! These beautiful young voices did indeed fill the Kohl Mansion with song!

The programmers for the chamber music series Music at Kohl Mansion, in Burlingame, do not usually present holiday-themed concerts, or do they usually invite a chorus to perform.

Congratulations to Jake Heggie, composer of our commissioned song cycle, "Intonations: Songs from the Violins of Hope", on being named Musical America's 2025 Composer of the Year. It's almost exactly 5 years since "Intonations", written by Jake with texts by Gene Scheer had its memorable world premiere on the Music at Kohl stage - a highlight of our 42-year history. Bravo, Jake!

THREE'S A COLLABORATION: A national treasure in Canada and one of the most acclaimed piano trios in the world, the Gryphon Trio—violinist Annalee Patipatanakoon, cellist Roman Borys and pianist Jamie Parker— is in the midst of its 30th year as a performing ensemble. The group comes to the Kohl Mansion in Burlingame Sunday evening, bringing the audience the Bay Area premiere of a 2023 Piano Trio by Paul Wiancko, a prolific composer and cellist from California who joined the renowned Kronos Quartet last year. Also on the program, which begins at 7 p.m., is the Piano Trio in C Major by Joseph Haydn and the No. 2 in C minor by Felix Mendelssohn. The Kohl Mansion is at 2750 Adeline Drive in Burlingame. Tickets, $30-$60, are available at musicatkohl.org or by calling (650) 762-1130.
