La Jolla Music Society
Remade/Reborn
Music survives by transformation—and this program celebrates reinvention as a creative force.
Thomas Adès reimagines Purcell before leading the U.S. première of a newly revised version of his miniature Concerto Conciso, and Brahms’ beloved Piano Quintet—famously transformed through multiple versions—closes the program in its final, towering incarnation.
