Music at Meyer - Concert Series - 2012 Season
We are so pleased to welcome you to our ninth season of wonderful music-making and merriment. It is with great pride that we invite you to partake of our offerings this season - which will include some familiar faces (Daniel Pollack, the SF Adler Fellows) as well as new additions to our roster of great performers.
This year we especially celebrate the dedication of two concerts to the memories of Victor Marcus, a great patron of the arts in San Francisco, and Ludwig Altman, the organist and choirmaster of Congregation Emanu-El for over 50 years.
With the generous support of their families you are guaranteed to enjoy superb artistry for years to come. I welcome you to this very special season and encourage you to bring your friends and families for what will promise to be a glorious series in our beautiful, acoustically superior hall.

Selections from LIAISONS: Re-Imagining Sondheim
With this landmark commissioning and concert project, de Mare has invited thirty-six of the world’s foremost contemporary composers to create a solo piano piece based on a Sondheim song of his or her choosing. Liaisons pays tribute to the unique genius of Stephen Sondheim, providing a rare opportunity to focus on the music separate from his oft-celebrated lyrics. A feast from the Worst Pies in London to the Ladies Who Lunch.
