About

Alisa Weilerstein, cello

Project Creator: Alisa Weilerstein

Director: Elkhanah Pulitzer

Set/Lighting Designer: Seth Reiser

Costume Designer: Molly Irelan

Artistic Producer/Advisor: Hanako Yamaguchi

Composers featured in this edition of the FRAGMENTS Series include Gabriela Lena Frank, Gabriella Smith, Gerard McBurney, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mathilde Wantenaar and Osvaldo Golijov.

Please note: The San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this Jacobs Music Center Special Presentation.

In Alisa Weilerstein’s FRAGMENTS, new commissions by 27 different composers are interwoven with the individual movements of the Bach Cello Suites. The result is a collection of six different FRAGMENTS performances in total, curated by Alisa and underscored with bespoke lighting, scenic architecture and costume design from a world-class team of creatives. Each of the six FRAGMENTS performances embodies its own striking identity that transforms the Bach Cello suites 1-6 in turn: Wonder – Tumult – Emergence – Labyrinth – Lament – Radiance.

Each FRAGMENTS performance is around 60 minutes of music with no pause, no program, in which Alisa invites the audience to simply immerse themselves in the dramatic power of live performance.

Composers featured over the course of this project include Alan Fletcher, Allison Loggins-Hull, Ana Sokolović, Andy Akiho, Carlos Simon, Caroline Shaw, Courtney Bryan, Daniel Kidane, Gabriel Kahane, Gabriela Lena Frank, Gabriella Smith, Gerard McBurney, Gili Schwarzman, Gity Razaz, Jeffrey Mumford, Jessie Montgomery, Joan Tower, Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Hallman, Mathilde Wantenaar, Matthias Pintscher, Missy Mazzoli, Osvaldo Golijov, Paul Wiancko, Reinaldo Moya, Tania Leon, Thomas Larcher and Chen Yi
