Linda and Alvaro Pascotto,

Additional support
provided by these funders.

00:30.966 --> 00:33.866 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(dynamic music)

00:33.866 --> 00:35.633 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
- An overture is,

00:35.633 --> 00:36.866 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
it maybe sounds obvious.

00:36.866 --> 00:38.400 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
It's the first thing.

00:38.400 --> 00:39.566 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
It's the first,

00:39.566 --> 00:41.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the introduction in the concert.

00:41.600 --> 00:43.366 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- This is the appetizer.

00:43.366 --> 00:46.800 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
It's to wake the audience
up, to welcome them,

00:46.800 --> 00:49.933 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to heighten their senses

00:49.933 --> 00:52.733 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
so that they're ready
for the main course.

00:52.733 --> 00:54.466 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
So they're usually short,

00:54.466 --> 00:59.300 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
and they come in all
different styles and emotions,

00:59.300 --> 01:01.966 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
but it's basically a way
to bring the audience in,

01:01.966 --> 01:04.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to welcome the audience
to the concert.

01:04.200 --> 01:07.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
- The piece that we're beginning
the first concert with,

01:07.466 --> 01:10.700 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
which is called "Starburst"
by Jessie Montgomery.

01:10.700 --> 01:13.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
She's a living composer,

01:13.166 --> 01:16.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and this is a contemporary work.

01:16.600 --> 01:19.600 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
- With new works, you're
trying to not only find out

01:19.600 --> 01:21.833 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
what the composer is saying,

01:21.833 --> 01:25.133 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
but how they're saying it,
what their musical language is.

01:25.133 --> 01:28.566 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
Whereas Mozart, Haydn, we know
what their classical music,

01:28.566 --> 01:30.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
you know, their structures are,

01:30.433 --> 01:32.666 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
and so we're trying to figure
out what they say within it.

01:32.666 --> 01:34.200 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
With new composers,
it's fantastic

01:34.200 --> 01:35.966 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
because you try to
figure out their voice

01:35.966 --> 01:37.766 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
as well as what
they're saying with it.

01:37.766 --> 01:41.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
- "Starburst" refers to
a exploding supernova.

01:41.500 --> 01:43.900 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
- It has so much
color and texture.

01:43.900 --> 01:46.333 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
It even has jazzy aspects to it.

01:46.333 --> 01:48.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
And so you can feel this
contemporary feeling

01:48.800 --> 01:51.533 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
of this fantastic string work.

01:51.533 --> 01:53.300 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
- I think the audience
is gonna really

01:53.300 --> 01:55.433 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
sit up in their chairs
and take notice.

01:56.866 --> 01:59.500 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(dynamic music)

05:16.033 --> 05:19.200 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
(audience applauding)

05:23.700 --> 05:27.666 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
The piece by Marquez,
"Danzon Number Two,"

05:27.666 --> 05:32.666 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
that is a work
which it has Latin,

05:34.100 --> 05:37.200 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
contemporary Latin origins
with a Mexican composer.

05:37.200 --> 05:41.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
- He was really inspired
in the "Danzon."

05:41.033 --> 05:42.400 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
It's a type of
dance, a Cuban dance

05:42.400 --> 05:47.000 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that in Mexico became
very, very popular.

05:47.000 --> 05:51.366 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
And Maestro Marquez makes
a beautiful rendition

05:51.366 --> 05:55.366 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
of the style of the
piece as a popular dance,

05:55.366 --> 06:00.000 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
but doing it in a
wonderful symphonic piece.

06:00.000 --> 06:04.433 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
And for that, what he did
was to go to the ballrooms.

06:04.433 --> 06:08.766 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
So he went to those places at
night to listen to that music,

06:08.766 --> 06:13.766 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
the wonderful bands
and how people dance.

06:14.900 --> 06:18.700 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
Anyway, he assimilated
these wonderfully,

06:18.700 --> 06:22.200 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
and now this piece has
become really well-known

06:22.200 --> 06:23.766 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
and really popular,

06:23.766 --> 06:25.900 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
surely as a symphonic piece.

06:25.900 --> 06:27.900 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
- And it's very,

06:27.900 --> 06:30.533 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
it's a showpiece
for the orchestra.

06:30.533 --> 06:32.666 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
It shows off all the
colors of the orchestra

06:32.666 --> 06:33.600 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
right from the beginning.

06:33.600 --> 06:35.700 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
It's a big audience-pleaser.

06:35.700 --> 06:37.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I'm sure they're gonna go wild.

06:39.233 --> 06:42.066 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
(plaintive music)

08:29.933 --> 08:32.666 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(spirited music)

11:04.000 --> 11:06.833 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
(laid-back music)

13:10.766 --> 13:13.433 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(vibrant music)

16:27.100 --> 16:30.266 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
(audience applauding)

16:47.800 --> 16:51.233 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
- Playing the trumpet
(laughs) is all about control.

16:51.233 --> 16:53.500 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
It's a very physical instrument.

16:53.500 --> 16:56.366 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
Your lungs have to
be in tip-top shape,

16:56.366 --> 16:59.166 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
and you have to have
control over your muscles,

16:59.166 --> 17:01.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
particularly here in your face,

17:01.633 --> 17:03.700 align:left position:35% line:77% size:55%
and then, of
course, the fingers.

17:03.700 --> 17:07.133 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
"Quiet City" is a
piece by Aaron Copland.

17:07.133 --> 17:09.633 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
When he wrote this
particular version,

17:09.633 --> 17:11.200 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
he asked the trumpet
player to play through it.

17:11.200 --> 17:12.833 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
And the trumpet
player played it,

17:12.833 --> 17:15.033 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and he was like, "Well,
it's a little too taxing.

17:15.033 --> 17:16.466 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's a little too long."

17:16.466 --> 17:18.400 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
Copland added the English horn

17:18.400 --> 17:20.466 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
and took out some
of the trumpet parts

17:20.466 --> 17:23.066 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
and made it the piece
that it is today.

17:23.066 --> 17:25.666 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
If you go and just
listen to "Quiet City"

17:25.666 --> 17:27.166 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
without knowing anything,

17:27.166 --> 17:29.566 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
you might say, oh, it's a
nice piece with the trumpet.

17:29.566 --> 17:32.200 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
But if you know it's supposed
to be a jazz trumpeter

17:32.200 --> 17:33.800 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
looking out of a window,

17:33.800 --> 17:38.600 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
starting out a little nervous
and a little nostalgic

17:38.600 --> 17:40.466 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
and all of these
things together,

17:40.466 --> 17:42.133 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
the outlook's a
little bit different.

17:42.133 --> 17:43.966 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
Knowing the history
of the music,

17:43.966 --> 17:46.266 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
knowing what the
composer was thinking,

17:46.266 --> 17:47.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and knowing what type of picture

17:47.766 --> 17:52.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
that the composer wanted
to paint for the audience,

17:52.433 --> 17:54.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
all these things matter.

17:54.200 --> 17:56.866 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(pensive music)

27:21.700 --> 27:24.866 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
(audience applauding)

27:42.400 --> 27:43.366 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
- I have a soloist that
is only a 13 year old.

27:45.066 --> 27:46.233 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
And she's a wonderful soloist.

27:46.233 --> 27:50.166 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
She's a wonderful young artist.

27:50.166 --> 27:51.600 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
- I'll be playing

27:51.600 --> 27:54.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
the Saint-Saens "Violin Concerto
in B minor, Number Three"

27:54.666 --> 27:56.100 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
with the orchestra.

27:56.100 --> 27:59.900 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
- It's one of the most
beautiful violin concertos.

27:59.900 --> 28:03.300 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
Has a little bit
of a Bohemian style

28:03.300 --> 28:07.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
that requires a lot of passion,

28:09.100 --> 28:12.133 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
and she plays it
absolutely gorgeous.

28:12.133 --> 28:16.900 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
- The conductor for my concert
is Gabriela Diaz-Alatriste,

28:16.900 --> 28:18.266 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
and she's amazing.

28:18.266 --> 28:20.966 align:left position:25% line:77% size:65%
She's a lot of fun
and she's very smart,

28:20.966 --> 28:24.666 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
and she likes to interact
with me in the music,

28:24.666 --> 28:27.766 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
which is very helpful
and a lot of fun to do.

28:27.766 --> 28:32.266 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
- Very charming, very
mature, very poised,

28:32.266 --> 28:35.833 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
and she makes the
most beautiful music.

28:35.833 --> 28:38.233 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
- What I like most
about this concerto is

28:38.233 --> 28:40.066 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
there's lots of drama in it.

28:40.066 --> 28:42.333 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
And there's so many different
things you can do with it,

28:42.333 --> 28:43.966 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
and you can just
be really flashy,

28:43.966 --> 28:45.966 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
and that is definitely
my kind of piece.

28:54.866 --> 28:57.600 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(stirring music)

31:40.866 --> 31:43.466 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
(mellow music)

32:47.366 --> 32:49.866 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
(suspenseful music)

32:49.866 --> 32:52.600 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(stirring music)

34:27.900 --> 34:30.466 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
(mellow music)

35:56.466 --> 35:58.833 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
(suspenseful music)

35:58.833 --> 36:01.566 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
(stirring music)

37:35.566 --> 37:38.733 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
(audience applauding)

37:39.900 --> 37:41.966 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
I would love to
come back and play

37:41.966 --> 37:43.766 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
with the Classical
Tahoe Orchestra.

37:43.766 --> 37:45.166 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
They're so much fun,

37:45.166 --> 37:47.133 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
and everyone's so encouraging,

37:47.133 --> 37:48.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
and I really enjoy my time here.

37:50.600 --> 37:54.500 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%
- In 1958, my dad did a
huge State Department tour

37:54.500 --> 37:58.100 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
with Dizzy Gillespie, Duke
Ellington, Louis Armstrong.

37:58.100 --> 38:02.166 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
They were part of this
musical ambassador program.

38:02.166 --> 38:04.666 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
And this tour,

38:04.666 --> 38:08.866 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
at one point, they sort of
snuck in to East Germany.

38:08.866 --> 38:11.066 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
They drove around
the Brandenburg Gate,

38:11.066 --> 38:12.300 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
and that really inspired him,

38:12.300 --> 38:13.766 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
and my father, he
wrote this tune.

38:13.766 --> 38:15.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
So it started as a quartet tune.

38:15.866 --> 38:19.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
What we're playing at Classical
Tahoe is an arrangement

38:19.133 --> 38:22.166 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
that I asked my youngest
brother, Matt Brubeck,

38:22.166 --> 38:25.066 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
to do specifically
for Daves Centennial.

38:25.066 --> 38:26.866 align:left position:17.5% line:77% size:72.5%
The idea was let's feature

38:26.866 --> 38:31.166 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5%

that are playing
in the orchestra,

38:32.700 --> 38:34.366 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
not have it all be jazz guys.

38:34.366 --> 38:36.200 align:left position:32.5% line:5% size:57.5%
- I think they
admire our technique

38:36.200 --> 38:38.866 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
'cause we spend many years
getting really, really good

38:38.866 --> 38:41.066 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
at playing all kinds of
things in tune and everything.

38:41.066 --> 38:43.533 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
But we really admire jazz guys.

38:43.533 --> 38:46.500 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
Because we don't
improvise, right?

38:46.500 --> 38:48.233 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%

- So the first
violin, the cello,

38:55.233 --> 38:57.266 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
second violin, viola, bass,

38:57.266 --> 38:59.566 align:left position:27.5% line:77% size:62.5%
they all have their
solos, plus the jazz guys.

38:59.566 --> 39:01.100 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
- It's a really good piece.

39:01.100 --> 39:04.233 align:left position:15% line:77% size:75%
Gives us a chance to sort of
pretend like we can do jazz

39:04.233 --> 39:06.366 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
even though we can't. (laughs)
