That group was formed in 1981.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00e4lkki and Josefowicz were both friends of Knussen (who died in 2018). In <a href=\"https:\/\/culturalattache.co\/2019\/12\/05\/violinist-leila-josefowicz-pays-tribute-to-oliver-knussen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our interview<\/a> with Josefowicz she talked about how important this concert is for her and how therapeutic it is as well.<\/p>\n<p>The program the two have come up with combines work by Knussen and those by other composers:<\/p>\n<p>Colin Matthews&#8217; <em>Hidden Variables<\/em> opens the program. That is followed by Knussen&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Reflection<\/em>. Helen Grime&#8217;s\u00a0<em>A Cold Spring<\/em> follows. A piano quartet by Huw Watkins then precedes two Knussen compositions:\u00a0<em>Ophelia Dances Book 1<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Two Organa<\/em>. The concert is scheduled to close\u00a0with Jonathan Harvey&#8217;s <em>Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>These composers were selected because they were Knussen&#8217;s friends, colleagues and\/or students.<\/p>\n<p>Josefowicz will be performing. Also appearing in this concert is pianist John Novacek.<\/p>\n<p>If you recently attended the LA Philharmonic performance of Stravinsky&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Rite of Spring<\/em> and enjoyed it, this is a good follow-up concert. Knussen&#8217;s work is equally challenging and equally satisfying on both an emotional and intellectual level.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets go <a href=\"https:\/\/my.laphil.com\/en\/syos\/performance\/3937\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photo of Leila Josefowicz with Oliver Knussen by Rikimaru Hotta (Courtesy of LeilaJosefowicz.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walt Disney Concert Hall<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDecember 10th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,24],"tags":[4376,687,4377,4378,4379,4375,1136,361,4337,770,234],"class_list":{"0":"post-7524","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-classical-metronome","8":"category-featured","9":"tag-colin-matthews","10":"tag-green-umbrella","11":"tag-helen-grime","12":"tag-huw-watkins","13":"tag-jonathan-harvey","14":"tag-la-phil-new-music-group","15":"tag-leila-josefowicz","16":"tag-los-angeles-philharmonic","17":"tag-oliver-knussen","18":"tag-susanna-malkki","19":"tag-walt-disney-concert-hall"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
