Luscious Noise Reinvents Classical Music at Anthology

Can’t stand classical music? Challenge yourself to change your mind this Sunday at Anthology Supper Club in Little Italy.

Anthology invites you to re-discover classical music with a modern multi-media performance that intertwines music, dance, and film coverage. Music Director / Conductor Jon Stubbs of California Ballet has modernized the classical music experience in a new production called Luscious Noise.

Historically, classical music has been associated with a mature aristocratic society. But starting this Sunday, Jon Stubbs is making classical music accessible to general audiences and a younger demographic with a dynamic performance and affordable price point at one of the hippest music venues in San Diego. 

“Whenever I see pop groups perform, I always wish I could see that same level of fun for classical performances,” says Stubbs. When he discovered Anthology, Stubbs realized it may be the perfect venue for him. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do here, but I knew I had to do something. The built-in multi-media capabilities made me very interested in wanting to perform there.”

Luscious Noise music selections will include Grieg’s Holberg Suite and Mozart Divertimento, among many, and visual excerpts will include “The Third Man” – a film noir classic, “Street Scene” from Kurt Weills and more. The performance will feature members of the San Diego Symphony and Prima Ballerina Denise Dabrowski who will perform “The Dying Swan” in a signature solo.

Luscious Noise takes over Anthology this Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $10 - $20 and are available online at AnthologySD.com or at the door.
