Performer Bios:
Jacqueline Suzuki, violin, is a longtime member of the Long Beach and Santa Barbara Symphonies. A native of San Francisco, she began her earliest chamber music studies on scholarship at the San Francisco Conservatory. She has performance degrees from the Mannes College of Music (BM), where she studied with William Kroll, and the California Institute of the Arts (MFA). As a Los Angeles freelancer, she has performed with many ensembles and in many genres, from rock, jazz, Latin and Arabic, to playing in the pit for the Bolshoi Ballet and onstage with the Three Tenors. She has recorded with diverse artists: Snoop Dogg, Neil Sedaka, Leonard Cohen, Whitney Houston, Bocelli, Lalo Schifrin, McCoy Tyner, Placido Domingo and many others, and appears on recordings by the Long Beach, Santa Barbara and Pacific Symphonies. She has spent summers at the Peter Britt, Oregon Coast, Carmel Bach and Cabrillo Festivals and has performed in a string quartet “in residence” on a raft trip down the Green River in Utah. Tours have taken her many times to Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Canada, Europe, the Middle East and throughout the US.
Adriana Zoppo performs on violin, viola, baroque violin baroque viola, and the viola d’amore. Director/Curator of the Glendale Noon Concerts’ early music sub-series Adriana, with Ergo Musica, is heard there frequently. Previously a member of the Carmel Bach Festival, she plays with the original instrument ensembles Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra, Los Angeles Baroque Players, Bach Collegium San Diego and the Corona del Mar Baroque Festival, where she has appeared as viola d'amore soloist. She has also played regularly with the Santa Barbara, New West, Pacific, Long Beach and Pasadena Symphonies, the St. Matthew Chamber Orchestra and other local ensembles. Adriana plays for film, TV, solo artist recordings and live shows of all musical styles and genres.
Patrick Marsh received his bachelor’s degree in viola performance from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins as a viola major.
As a violist, Patrick was one of the founding members of “Clemens Quartet,” a string quartet performing and competing throughout the United States. As a violinist, Patrick is a former concertmaster of The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. His performance opportunities have taken him across the United States, Europe, and St. Petersburg Russia.
Though classical music is the foundation of his technique, he can be found branching out into the jazz and rock genres. Patrick plays a blue Fourness Fuse 5-string electric violin and runs it through a Line6 Helix for effects, and two Gallien Krueger bass amps in stereo.
Patrick can also be heard as a featured soloist in such feature films as “Kids vs. Monsters” and “Pali Road” as well as such video games as “Relics of Gods” and Disney’s “Cartooniverse.” https://www.patrickmarshmusic.com/
Cellist Clement Chow has studied at Rice University and Cleveland Institute of Music where he received his Bachelor and Master of Music. He has been to music festivals around the world which include the Aspen Music Festival, Pacific Music Festival in Japan, as well as Schleswig Holstein Music Festival in Germany. He made his solo debut with the Houston Symphony at the age of 16. He has also studied with some of the greatest chamber music groups around the world. The groups include Tokyo, Cleveland, Alban Berg, and Amadeus String Quartets.
Program notes:
“Although mainly celebrated for his operas and vocal pieces, Giacomo Puccini also wrote a handful of works for chamber ensembles. Puccini had an affinity with the string quartet, which was something he experimented a lot with whilst studying at conservatory. 1890 was the year he composed Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums). The piece was a quick response to the sudden death of Amadeo di Savoia, Duke of Aosta. Savoia was a friend of Puccini’s and his untimely death at age 44 really touched Puccini.
The title of the piece comes from the significance of the flower itself. Chrysanthemums represent heroism, loyalty and mourning traditionally, and so Puccini named this elegiac piece after the flower of loyalty. As well as the piece itself, Puccini also reused some of the content of this work in his opera Manon Lescaut, which was composed just three years later. The music serves as a backdrop through at least two acts in the opera.” Alex Burns
