DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Ian S. and P N.\nMusicians: Ian Scarfe\, Lux Brahn\, 
 and James Jaffe\n\nWelcome to the second concert of "Music at The Century 
 Club" - where we bring a casual and intimate musical experience to a beaut
 iful and historic venue in the middle of San Francisco.\n\nThe Century Clu
 b of California is one of the oldest women’s clubs in San Francisco. Fou
 nded in the 1888 to nurture women in public life\,   its membership has be
 en deeply involved in the social and cultural growth of the city since its
  inception.   Its circa 1905 clubhouse was spared during the firestorm tha
 t followed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake\, as nearly everything east o
 f Franklin Street burned. While San Francisco was rebuilding \, the clubho
 use temporarily became home to City Hall offices\, the California State Su
 preme Court\, while continuing to host  other important civic and cultural
  events in its ballroom auditorium.  .\n\n“Music at The Century Club” 
 brings back the feeling of turn-of-the-century elegance\, but with a casua
 l and intimate touch. Concerts are held in the ballroom of the club - join
  us with a glass of champagne and get up close with the musical performers
 \, as they will play their first set "on the floor" in the midst of the au
 dience\, before taking their second set "on the stage" to showcase the clu
 b’s beautiful Steinway piano and the superb acoustics of the room.\n\nTh
 is concert will feature the *Zurich Beethoven Trio*\, an ensemble featurin
 g Bay Area groupmusers Ian Scarfe (piano) and James Jaffe (cello)\, joined
  by the Swiss clarinetist Lux Brahn. The trio has been touring the U.S. an
 d Europe for ten years!\n\nThe musical selections will feature Mikhael Gli
 nka's passionate "Trio Pathetique"\, a work that bridges the classicism of
  Beethoven's era with the early-Romantic yearnings of Chopin. The cello wi
 ll be highlighted in an arrangement of a "Suite of Spanish Folksongs" by M
 anuel de Falla\, and the clarinet will sing out in a pair of "Fantasy Piec
 es" by the Danish composer Niels Made. \n\nTrue to their namesake\, the Zu
 rich Beethoven Trio will also perform music by the great Ludwig: The Piano
  Trio\, Op. 38. This rarely-heard gem is an arrangement Beethoven made of 
 his "Septet"\, a hugely popular work from his early years in Vienna. This 
 version takes the original music for 7 instruments\, and repackages it for
  only 3\, boosting the energy and virtuosity of the piece while keeping th
 e conversational aspects of it.\n\n
