The intimate hall allow ed 300 guests to witness the funeral for ZERO\, the avatar Billy Corgan fi rst inhabited 30 years ago on Mellon Collie. \nBefore the tour kicks off\, The Smashing Pumpkins will headline their hometown’s famed Lollapalooza on July 31 for the first time in over 30 years\, marking their long-await ed return to the festival since its touring iteration in 1994. Then\, in S eptember\, the Rats In A Cage tour opens in Columbus. OH\, before visiting multiple major markets throughout America and Canada. With the Pumpkins ’ shows forever known for delivering raw performances on an epic emotion al scale\, theRats In A Cage tour and its journey through the decades prom ises to showcase the kaleidoscopic range the band has wielded from Gish al l the way to their most recent album release\, Aghori Mhori Mei. \nThe Rat s In A Cage Tour follows a multi-faceted 2025 anniversary blowout for Mell on Collie\, including a deluxe vinyl reissue featuring previously unheard live recordings from the world tour supporting the album\, a special reima gining of Mellon Collie’s iconic hits and beloved fan-favorites onstage with the Lyric Opera Of Chicago\, and culinary collaborations with Vosges Haut-Chocolat and Erewhon. Released the same year as Machina/The Machines Of God’s 25th anniversary reissue\, the Mellon Collie celebration contin ued what has been a furiously productive decade for The Smashing Pumpkins\ , with a flood of inspiration producing 2020’s Cyr\, 2022/2023’s tripl e-album Atum: A Rock Opera In Three Parts\, and 2024’s Aghori Mhori Mei. \nAlongside all of his Pumpkins activity\, the ever-prolific Corgan has r emained busy in other ventures as well. Entering its second year\, his wid ely praised podcast The Magnificent Others has recently featured candid co nversations about creativity and legacy with Courtney Love\, Billy Idol\, Nancy Wilson\, and Yungblud. Corgan also made his Coachella debut\, joinin g Sombr onstage for a surprise performance. Most recently\, in his capacit y as president of the National Wrestling Alliance\, Corgan led the hallowe d athletic institution to a landmark deal with Comet TV\, bringing NWA bac k to free broadcast TV nationwide for the first time since the early ‘90 s. The new chapter of NWA dawned on May 1\, marking the latest moment in a standout year for Corgan and the Pumpkins. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column ][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery- 130948″ medias=”16415\,16416\,16417\,16418\,16419\,16420\,16421\,16422 \,16423″ gutter_size=”3″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padd ing=”2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”506381″][/vc_column][/vc_row] LAST-MODIFIED:20260829T221413Z LOCATION:Kohl Center\, 601 W Dayton St\, Madison\, 53703\, United States URL:https://www.altmad.com/event/16396/ X-SOURCE-NAME:The Resistance X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.altmad.com/event/weathers-almost-monday-high-noon -saloon-august-11th END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:INOHA @ Majestic Theatre DTSTART:20261012T003000Z DTEND:20261012T023000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T221413Z UID:10000334-1791747000-1791747000@www.altmad.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:INOHA \nwith Capital Soirée and Pretoria \nAt Majestic Theatr e – Madison\, WI\nSunday October 11th \nDoors 6:30pm | Show 7:30pm \nTic kets: $27 ADV GA\nTickets are on sale now!\n\n\nHear our interview with th e band on our Discover New Alternative podcast!\n\n\n\nWatch a clip of the ir performance opening for Good Kid @ The Sylvee this past May!\n\n\nhttps ://www.altmad.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/20260516_200420.mp4 LAST-MODIFIED:20260829T221413Z LOCATION:Majestic Theatre\, 115 King St\, Madison\, WI\, 53703\, United St ates URL:https://www.altmad.com/event/inoha-majestic-theatre/ X-SOURCE-NAME:The Resistance X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.altmad.com/event/weathers-almost-monday-high-noon -saloon-august-11th END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Capitol Chordsmen Weekly Rehearsal DTSTART:20261014T000000Z DTEND:20261014T020000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T221424Z UID:event_316258595@meetup.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:The Capitol Chordsmen Barbershop Chorus\nPlease join us for ou r weekly rehearsal!

the DB Orchestra\, a 17-piece big band loaded with trumpets\, tr ombones\, and saxophones plus percussion and sousaphone\, Wurk will be pre senting the WURKestra for a limited run of concerts in the fall.  The fir st event will be hosted in Madison at the historic Barrymore Theatre on Fr iday\, October 16th.Voted the 2019 and 2022 MAMA Artist of the Year by Mad ison music lovers\, Wurk is known for their wide range of influences inclu ding funk\, progressive rock\, pop and jam band.  The DB Orchestra has si milarly been blending genres such as jazz swing\, doo-wop\, Dixieland and rock ‘n’ roll for over a decade.  Daniel Haschke\, saxophonist and me mber of both groups\, noticed how both projects took an innovative approac h to arranging music and decided there was something special to be explore d.  “I’ve always been inspired by unique musical collaborations\,” Haschke reflects\, “especially when popular artists work with big orches tras.  I realized that all of the pieces were in place for me and my band mates to craft a truly one-of-a-kind experience.”The full WURKestra pres entation will debut on Friday\, October 16th\, 2026 at the Barrymore Theat re\, then tour the following weekend to venues in Milwaukee and Appleton.   Concertgoers can expect over two hours of bold and brassy interpretatio ns of Wurk originals\, innovative reimaginings of popular covers\, and pie ces original to the WURKestra.  Tickets are $30 in advance or $40 day of show.  Doors open at 7pm and the show begins promptly at 8pm at the Barry more Theatre. \n\n\n\nWurk is a 6-piece funk-fusion group which formed in Madison\, WI in 2016.  Inspired by Umphrey’s McGee\, Snarky Puppy\, Let tuce\, Phish and many others\, their innovative original songs and ambitio us interpretations of popular covers offer an impressive blend of jazz fus ion\, prog rock\, jam rock and more\, all with the consistent underlying g rooves of funk.  The DB Orchestra\, led by Andy Kerber\, combines the nua nced harmonies of a doo-wop group\, the intensity of a marching band\, and the flair of great jazz ensembles of yesteryear.  With a roster of nearl y 20 musicians\, the hot horns\, smooth saxes\, and driving drums of the D B Orchestra will keep your head humming and toes tapping long after the sh ow’s over.

Judah & The Lion’s newest and sixth album\, I A m A Prism\, came after a period of soul-searching and amid a joyous new li fe milestone: Brian becoming a father again. The last three albums had doc umented some personally heavy topics – mental health and depression (201 9’s Pep Talks)\, heartbreak and divorce (2022’s Revival)\, and chart ing the stages of grief (2024’s The Process). On the other side of this trilogy of hard times and heartbreak\, Judah & The Lion was at a creative crossroads. They took some time off\, parted ways with their management\, and asked themselves some tough but necessary questions. \nJudah explains \, “We wanted to get really honest with ourselves about those kinds of d eep internal questions. What do we bring that no one else brings? Why do w e wanna make another record? Not like we were wanting to quit\, but it was just like\, let’s get back to the “why” of when we first started ma king music together. We do it because we want to help people. That’s the heart behind this.” \nNow\, after an amazing fifteen years becoming a b eloved favorite band to hundreds of thousands of people around the world\, and sticking together through some of the most difficult of times\, Judah & The Lion are ready to share this victorious moment with their fans. At its thematic core\, I Am A Prism is a celebration of the full spectrum o f life\, dark and light. \nJudah reflects\, “Life doesn’t happen to yo u\, it happens for you. If you think about the simplicity of life\, we’r e all here breathing\; we’re all here for a reason. Some people think th at a miracle has to be some big\, dramatic event. But it’s like\, what i f a miracle is just waking up in the morning? The miracle is all of it.  It’s the process. And the process is perpetual. It never really ends. Li fe itself is a miracle.” \nAnd this is the simplest and most beautiful r eminder everyone needs.

The youngest contestant at 19 years old\, she took home two additiona l awards: Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet)\, a nd Best Performance of a New Work. In 2006 Yang made her celebrated New Yo rk Philharmonic debut alongside Lorin Maazel at Avery Fisher Hall along wi th the orchestra’s tour of Asia\, making a triumphant return to her home town of Seoul\, South Korea. Yang’s subsequent appearances with the New York Philharmonic have included opening night of the 2008 Leonard Bernstei n Festival – an appearance made at the request of Maazel in his final se ason as music director. The New York Times pronounced her performance in B ernstein’s The Age of Anxiety a “knockout.”  \nIn the last decade\, Yang has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitun g)\, showcasing her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and coll aborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians through more than 1\,000 debuts and re-engagements. She received the 2010 Avery F isher Career Grant and earned her first Grammy nomination (Best Chamber Mu sic/Small Ensemble Performance) for her recording of Franck\, Kurtág\, Pr evin & Schumann with violinist Augustin Hadelich (“One can only sit in m isty-eyed amazement at their insightful flair and spontaneity.” – The Strad). She has become a staple of the summer festival circuit with freque nt appearances on the programs of the Aspen Summer Music Festival\, La Jol la SummerFest and the Seattle Chamber Music Society.  \nOther notable orc hestral engagements have included the Chicago Symphony\, Los Angeles Philh armonic\, Philadelphia Orchestra\, San Francisco Symphony\, Deutsches Symp honie-Orchester Berlin\, the BBC Philharmonic\, as well as the Toronto\, V ancouver\, Sydney\, Melbourne\, and New Zealand symphony orchestras. She w as also featured in a five-year Rachmaninoff concerto cycle with Edo de Wa art and the Milwaukee Symphony\, to which she brought “an enormous palet te of colors\, and tremendous emotional depth” (Milwaukee Sentinel Journ al).   \nIn solo recital\, Yang’s innovative program has been praised as “extraordinary” and “kaleidoscopic” (Los Angeles Times). She ha s performed at New York City’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum\, the Kennedy Center in Washington\, D.C.\, Chicago’s Symphony Hall and Zu rich’s Tonhalle. In 2018\, Musica Viva presented Yang in an extensive re cital tour throughout Australia.   \nAs an avid chamber musician\, Yang has collaborated with the Takács Quartet for Dvořák – part of Lincoln Center’s Great Performers series – and Schubert’s “Trout” Quint et with members of the Emerson String Quartet at the Mostly Mozart Festiva l at Lincoln Center. Yang has fostered an enduring partnership with the Al exander String Quartet\, which continues in the 2018/2019 season with perf ormances in Davis\, Tucson\, San Francisco\, Dallas\, Aliso Viejo\, Rockvi lle and Seattle. Following their debut disc of Brahms and Schumann Quintet s\, their recording of Mozart’s Piano Quartets was released in July 2018 (FoghornClassics). Jerry Dubins of Fanfare Magazine wrote that the rendit ions were “by far\, hands down and feet up\, the most amazing performanc es of Mozart’s two piano quartets that have ever graced these ears.”    \nYang’s wide-ranging discography includes the world premiere recordi ng of Michael Torke’s Piano Concerto\, created expressly for Yang and co mmissioned by the Albany Symphony. Yang has also “demonstrated impressiv e gifts” (New York Times) with the release of Wild Dreams (Avie Records) \, on which she plays Schumann\, Bartók\, Hindemith\, Rachmaninoff\, and arrangements by Earl Wild. She recorded Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Denmark’s Odense Symphony Orchestra that International Record Re view called “hugely enjoyable\, beautifully shaped … a performance tha t marks her out as an enormous talent.” Of her 2011 debut album for Avie Records\, Collage\, featuring works by Scarlatti\, Liebermann\, Debussy\, Currier\, and Schumann\, Gramophone praised her “imaginative programmin g” and “beautifully atmospheric playing.”  \nIn 2018/2019\, Yang ha s focused on promoting creative ways to introduce classical music to new a udiences. She will serve as the Guest Artistic Director for the Laguna Bea ch Music Festival in California\, curating concerts that explore the “ar t-inspires-art” concept – highlighting the relationship between music and dance while simultaneously curating outreach activities to young stude nts.  Yang continues her unique collaboration with the Aspen Santa Fe Bal let with performances of Half/Cut/Split – a “witty\, brilliant explora tion of Robert Schumann’s Carnaval” (The Santa Fe New Mexican) choreog raphed by Jorma Elo – a marriage between music and dance to illuminate t he ingenuity of Schumann’s musical language. The group will tour in Aspe n\, Santa Fe\, Dallas\, Denver\, Scottsdale\, and New York.   \nAlso in 2018/2019\, Yang will share her versatile repertoire\, performing solo rec itals and performing 12 different piano concertos all throughout North Ame rica. Yang will reunite with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Edo De Waart for five concerts in New Zealand\, following up a successful 2017 c ollaboration in which Yang displayed “fabulous lyricism” and “assure d technique” (Otago Daily Times).    \nBorn in 1986 in Seoul\, South Korea\, Yang received her first piano lesson from her aunt at the age of f our. She quickly took to the instrument\, which she received as a birthday present. Over the next few years won several national piano competitions in her native country. By the age of ten\, she had entered the School of M usic at the Korea National University of Arts\, and went on to make a numb er of concerto and recital appearances in Seoul and Daejeon. In 1997\, Yan g moved to the United States to begin studies at the pre-college division of the Juilliard School with Dr. Yoheved Kaplinsky. During her first year at Juilliard\, Yangwon the pre-college division Concerto Competition\, res ulting in a performance of Haydn’s Keyboard Concerto in D with the Juill iard Pre-College Chamber Orchestra. After winning the Philadelphia Orchest ra’s Greenfield Student Competition\, she performed Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto with that orchestra at just twelve years old. She graduated from Juilliard with special honor as the recipient of the school’s 2010 Arthur Rubinstein Prize\, and in 2011 she won its 30th Annual William A. Petschek Piano Recital Award.  \nYang appears in the film In the Heart of Music\, a documentary about the 2005 Van Cliburn International Piano Comp etition. She is a Steinway artist.  \n\n \n Discover more about Joyc e Yang LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T185617Z LOCATION:Overture Hall\, 201 State Street\, Madison\, WI\, 53703\, United States URL:https://madisonsymphony.org/event/joyceyang/ X-SOURCE-NAME:The Madison Symphony Orchestra X-SOURCE-URL:https://madisonsymphony.org/concerts-events/calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Live Dead Night #2 DTSTART:20261107T010000Z DTEND:20261107T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260829T221426Z UID:event_lgkvwtyjcpbjb@meetup.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Live Dead Madison\nOur second event for this new group.

How many acts can boast being the inspiration of a classic Saturday Nig ht Live skit? \n\n\n\nVery few. \n\n\n\nSpeaking of incredible accomplish ments\, they occupy rarified air with spots on Billboard’s “100 Grea test Alternative Songs of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Ar tists of All Time.” \n\n\n\nThe story of Better Than Ezra began before t he nineties explosion\, they remain so often associated with\, ever even h appened. Griffin and Drummond comprised the core of the band at its onset as they hit the road and won over one fan at a time beginning in 1989. Thi s fan base would go on to be known as “Ezralites” by the time the firs t pressing of Deluxelanded independently in 1993. As the audience dramati cally grew\, Elektra signed the boys in 1995 and officially released Delu xe. A fixture on radio and MTV\, “Good” captured #1 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks Chart and went multi-platinum. 1996’s Friction\, Baby yie lded definitive anthems such as “Desperately Wanting” and “King Of N ew Orleans.” A string of fan favorite albums followed\, including How D oes Your Garden Grow? [1998] and Closer [2001]. \n\n\n\n2005’s Befor e The Robots represented another creative high. Its lead single “A Life time” peaked in the Top 15 of the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart as “J uicy” went on to famously soundtrack a Desperate Housewives campaign.  Paper Empire followed in 2009 and then the band released their album\,  All Together Now\, in 2014. Produced by Tony Hoffer [M83\, Beck\,] it s pawned the hit “Crazy Lucky\,” which notched 10 million-plus streams. Most recently in 2024\, the band released their long anticipated tenth stu dio album\, Super Magick. \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, their touring presen ce burgeoned year after year as Better Than Ezra continue to sell out amph itheaters and arenas worldwide. A force of nature on stage\, the group con sistently deliver on tour as countless fans sing along to every word night ly. Their gigs further uphold a growing legend. \n\n\n\nOutside of Better Than Ezra\, Griffin established himself as a sought-after hitmaking songwr iter\, having songs recorded by the likes of Taylor Swift and Train. He al so penned #1 hits for Howie Day and Sugarland in addition to writing with The Struts and Moon Taxi. In 2015\, Griffin co-founded the Pilgrimage Mus ic & Cultural Festival\, which counts Justin Timberlake among others as pa rtners. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, they launched the Better Than Ezra Founda tion (www.BTEFoundation.org) in order to support their hometown. Chaired b y Drummond\, its charity endeavors span coastal restoration projects\, aft er school programs for underprivileged kids\, and more. Since 2008\, it ha s raised over $1.7 million for causes throughout greater New Orleans. \n\n \n\nCelebrating 25 years of Deluxe in 2018\, the guys reissued the recor d on double vinyl. Detailing the release\, Forbes summed up the group’ s influence beyond the nineties scene it helped define. \n\n\n\nThe outlet wrote\, “So many of that decade’s most influential\, like supernovas \, burned up fast… New Orleans alternative rock trio Better Than Ezra de fied those odds.” \n\n\n\nIn the end\, you’ll never forget the songs o n Deluxe or any other release from their discography—and that’s bett er than anything.

Thank YOU f or helping us keep our Wisconsin neighbors in need safely in their homes! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLINEUP:\n\n\n\nDawesFor the first time in almost a decade\ , brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith grace the cover of a Dawes record. It’s just the two of them this time\, and as such\, Oh Brother marks a distinctive new chapter for the California rock band — one that is both introspective and accessible\, all while maintaining their beloved sense o f sincerity. Oh Brother steers Dawes decidedly forward\, honoring 15 years of Taylor and Griffin’s musical relationship\, as well as the next era of their band. Each of the nine songs began with just Taylor on guitar and vocals and Griffin on drums. They initially tracked each one live togethe r\, before adding in additional instrumentation and collaborating with tou ring guitarist Trevor Menear in the studio. Additionally\, Oh Brother is t he first record the brothers have co-produced\, working alongside longtime friend Mike Viola. At this point in the Goldsmith’s career\, Dawes has cemented itself as one of the most earnest\, no-bullshit musical acts out there. They’re a band that can move seamlessly between folk rock\, piano ballads\, and sprawling jams while maintaining both an immediately recogn izable sound and a freedom from expectations. Even as the Goldsmith brothe rs navigates new chapters in their personal and professional lives\, Oh Br other shows how they remain creative\, ambitious\, and inspired — what i t means to be lifers in a band together. \n\n\n\nThe Mascot TheoryThe Masc ot Theory is a Wisconsin-based Americana-Rock band known for emotionally h onest songwriting\, soaring harmonies\, and a sound that moves fluidly bet ween introspective folk-rock and full-throttle\, heartland anthems. Center ed around the reflective songwriting of vocalist/guitarist Erik Kjelland a nd brought vividly to life by the dynamic interplay of Cory Swadley (lead guitar)\, Nick Fry (bass)\, and Paul Metz (drums)\, the band creates music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. Their chemistry fuels a live energy that’s intimate\, explosive\, and always evolving. Whether on stage or in the studio\, The Mascot Theory crafts songs anchore d in melody\, driven by heart\, and wide open to the unknown. Their newest album\, Cosmic Hit And Run\, was written in the shadow of loss and mortal ity. In the midst of grieving his father’s passing\, Kjelland was diagno sed with a rare and potentially fatal brain condition that required invasi ve surgery. Unsure what would remain on the other side—memory\, speech\, music itself—he wrote through the fear\, the waiting\, and the aftermat h. The result is a deeply cinematic collection of songs shaped by survival \, perspective\, and the fragile beauty of still being here. \n\n\n\nBeth Kille BandAt first glance\, you may not know what to make of them. The far m boy\, the intellectual\, the ex-Marine\, all backing up a wild-haired\, acrobat. But then\, the show begins\, and you know you’re about to be wr apped in the arms of a cohesive unit\, bonded in the kinship of music. The four members of the Beth Kille Band – Michael Mood (bass\, backing voca ls)\, Tony Kille (drums)\, Michael Tully (guitar\, backing vocals) and Kil le herself (guitar\, mandolin\, vocals) – have amassed some impressive a ccolades. In addition to the numerous songwriting recognitions\, Kille gra bbed one of her 30 Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Awards when she w as named “Artist of the Year” in 2010 and Tully snagged the highly-com petitive “Guitarist of the Year” Award in 2014. Their style can best b e described as Americana-Rock but these dynamic performers can play everyt hing from folk to funk to in-your-face rock. \n\n\n\nTAE & The Neighborly (DUO)Tae & The Neighborly\, a Wisconsin based Soul-pop R&B group\, found t hemselves playing music together in a very unconventional way. They were a ll neighbors\, each one living alone on one floor of a five-story flat. Ca ke baking is a shared passion of the five member group\, but in the sugar shortages early in the 2020 pandemic\, they found themselves so continuall y knocking on each other’s doors asking for a single cup of sugar that a group decision was made to all move in together and share cake-baking res ources. And since everyone knows all good rhythms begin in the kitchen\, i t wasn’t before long that the group began to write and perform together  across the nation. Critics hail the group as “having more kick than a bagged-up mule” (Rotary Times)  and their live show “…going down sm oother than a can of [beans] warmed on the campfire” (Cowboy Gazette). A ll in all\, if you are looking for a dense show that will give you more in spiration fuel for self lovin’\, world changin’\, and consideration ha vin’ meet them where the music is made to be shared.

He has had a continuing relationship with the USC Thornton School of Musi c for over 25 years as conductor of the USC Thornton orchestras and a facu lty lecturer in conducting. In 2012\, he took on an expanded role as artis tic leader and principal conductor of the USC Thornton orchestras.    \ nThe 2022-2023 season marks his thirty-third year as music director of the Pacific Symphony. He is one of the longest-tenured conductors of the majo r American orchestras. St.Clair’s lengthy history solidifies the stron g relationship he has forged with the musicians and the community. His con tinuing role also lends stability to the organization and continuity to hi s vision for the symphony’s future. Few orchestras can claim such rapid artistic development as the Pacific Symphony—the largest-budgeted orches tra formed in the United States in the last 50 years—due in large part t o St.Clair’s leadership.  \nDuring his tenure\, St.Clair has become widely recognized for his musically distinguished performances\, his comm itment to building outstanding educational programs and his innovative app roaches to programming. In April 2018\, St.Clair led the Pacific Symphon y in its sold-out Carnegie Hall debut as the finale to the Carnegie’s ye arlong celebration of pre-eminent composer Philip Glass’s eightieth birt hday\, ending in a standing ovation and with The New York Times calling th e symphony “a major ensemble!” He led the Pacific Symphony on its firs t tour to China in May 2018\, the orchestra’s first international tour s ince touring Europe in 2006. The orchestra made its national PBS debut in June 2018 on Great Performances with Peter Boyer’s “Ellis Island: The Dream of America\,” conducted by St.Clair. Among St.Clair’s many cr eative endeavors are the highly acclaimed American Composers Festival\, wh ich began in 2000\; and the opera initiative\, “Symphonic Voices\,” wh ich continues for the ninth season in 2019-20 with Verdi’s Othello\, fol lowing the concert-opera productions of Madame Butterfly\, The Magic Flute \, Aida\, Turandot\, Carmen\, La Traviata\, Tosca and La Bohème in previo us seasons.  \nSt.Clair’s commitment to the development and performanc e of new works by composers is evident in the wealth of commissions and recordings by the Pacific Symphony. The 2016-17 season featured commission s by pianist/composer Conrad Tao and composer-in-residence Narong Prangch aroen\, a follow-up to the recent slate of recordings of works commissione d and performed by the symphony in recent years. These include William Bol com’s Songs of Lorca and Prometheus (2015-16)\, Elliot Goldenthal’s Sy mphony in G-sharp Minor (2014-15)\, Richard Danielpour’s Toward a Seas on of Peace (2013-14)\, Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna (2012-1 3) and Michael Daugherty’s Mount Rushmore and The Gospel According to Si ster Aimee (2012-13). St.Clair has led the orchestra in other critically acclaimed albums including two piano concertos of Lukas Foss\, Danielpou r’s An American Requiem and Goldenthal’s Fire Water Paper: A Vietna m Oratorio with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Other commissioned composers include Jam es Newton Howard\, Zhou Long\, Tobias Picker\, Frank Ticheli\, Chen Yi\, Curt Cacioppo\, Stephen Scott\, Jim Self (Pacific Symphony’s principal t ubist) and Christopher Theofanidis.  \nIn 2006 and 2007\, Carl St.Clair  led the orchestra’s historic move into its home in the Renée and Henr y Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The move came on the heels of the landmark 2005-2006 season that included St.Clair le ading the symphony on its first European tour—nine cities in three count ries playing before capacity houses and receiving extraordinary responses and reviews.  \nFrom 2008-2010\, St.Clair was general music director fo r the Komische Oper in Berlin.

(Los Angeles Times) \nHe is San Di ego Civic Organist and Artistic Director of the Spreckels Organ Society\, where he presides over the famed Austin organ at the city’s Balboa Park Pavilion – the largest open-air musical instrument in the world. Mr. Ram írez is the eighth Civic Organist to serve San Diego on the Spreckels org an bench. He is the director of the widely renowned San Diego Internationa l Summer Organ Festival\, now in its 37th year. \nAt age 27\, as the first Organist of Spain’s National Concert Hall in Madrid\, Mr. Ramírez incr eased attendance by a multiple of 30 and critics hailed him as one of the most exciting talents in the music scene. He later founded the Internation al Organ Festival/Academy in Barcelona\, the Sursa American Organ Competit ion in partnership with Moscow and served as organ consultant for both rel igious and civil institutions. \nHis global schedule takes him to major fe stivals and concert halls (from the Mariinsky Theater and Moscow House of Music in Russia to organ churches and cathedrals through Europe and the US )\, performances and lectures for universities and institutions (such as I ndiana University\, Baylor\, Moscow Conservatory\, Graz University\, and C hapters of the American Guild of Organists)\, collaborations in summer aca demies\, and as jury member at international competitions. \nAfter studies in Spain where he received the highest distinctions and awards\, Mr. Ram írez moved to Stuttgart on a scholarship from the German government to st udy organ performance with Ludger Lohmann. At the same time\, he was devel oping his technique with pianist Leonid Sintsev at the Rimsky-Korsakov Con servatory in St. Petersburg\, Russia. He also worked on interpretation of the different schools of organ literature with Marie-Claire Alain\, Guy Bo vet\, Eric Lebrun\, Lionel Rogg\, Zsigmond Szathmáry\, and Luigi Ferdinan do Tagliavini\, and he also intensively studied composition\, orchestral c onducting\, improvisation\, and continuo playing. The premieres of his wor ks have been recorded and broadcast in Spain\, including chamber music\, o rgan music\, many pieces for solo instruments and a concerto for organ and orchestra that was premiered in Barcelona. \nAs a result of his varied st udies\, Mr. Prieto Ramírez possesses a wide and deep knowledge of organ r epertoire\, styles\, and schools\, from the 14th century Robertsbridge Cod ex to the new compositions he commissions. He is respected as a specialist in such disparate subjects as Spanish music\, historic keyboard technique s\, and modern symphonic transcriptions for the organ. His transcriptions of Liszt’s piano études and Mephisto Waltz have been praised by audienc e and critics alike in Italy\, Russia\, the United Kingdom\, and the Unite d States. Critics have also highly praised his interpretations of the musi c of Buxtehude\, Bach\, Franck\, and Reger. \nHis first two compact discs\ , on the Brilliant Classics label\, were recorded at Milan Cathedral in It aly (music of Franck\, Liszt\, Reger\, and Saint-Saëns) and at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona (music for piano and organ duet). Mr. Ramirez and his wife\, Spanish pianist Maria Teresa Sierra\, were featured duo artists at the 2016 American Guild of Organists’ national conventio n in Houston.
