TABLE FOR TWO: AMOR TOWLES
Apr 14, 2024
The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles joins ALOUD/Library Foundation of Los Angeles and the Wallis for the first time to discuss his new book, Table for Two. Comprised of six short stories and a novella that centers around beloved character Evelyn Ross from The Rules of Civility, Table for Two’s stories take place around the year 2000, examining the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. Written with Towles’s signature wit, humor, and sophistication, Table for Two delivers another enchanting, page-turning read.

LOS ANGELES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: BAROQUE: JIJI + VIVALDI
May 4, 2024
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s Baroque Series concludes with a selection of masterworks from the Italian Baroque led by Concertmaster Margaret Batjer, among them Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor for Guitar, featuring South Korean guitarist JIJI, “a graceful and nuanced player” (Kansas City Star). Principal Cello Andrew Shulman is also a soloist on the program that includes Cello Concerto No. 3 in D minor by Leo, who was considered Scarlatti’s heir apparent; Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor; Vivaldi’s “Spring” from The Four Seasons; and Charles Avison’s Concerto Grosso after Scarlatti, No. 6 in D major. Two contemporary works inspired by the era round out the program – Caroline Shaw’s Stucco & Brocatelle and Max Richter’s recomposed version of “Spring” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
