Kronos Quartet with the L.A. Philharmonic New Music Group at Disney Hall
08:58 AM PT, Dec 1 2009
What exactly is the L.A. Philharmonic New Music Group? Think of it, affectionately, as the L.A. Phil Lite. Though fewer members perform, selections are often more daring, like tonight's program, which includes an arrangement of Frank Zappa's "The Yellow Shark," and the lauded Kronos Quartet performing Harry Partch's "U.S. Highball," described as an "individualistic hobo travelogue." Also on the musical menu is a version of Ingram Marshall's "Fog Tropes," which was composed nearly 30 years ago as an ambient brass piece mimicking the fog horns of the San Francisco Bay. Lite never tasted so good.
Walt Disney Concert Hall, 111 S. Grand Ave., Downtown; 7 p.m.; $26-$51
