Composer and conductor Matthias Pintscher curates Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s next Session concert in collaboration with Four Larks on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. at Mack Sennett Studios in Silverlake.

Designed to explore classical music’s cutting-edge sounds and challenge traditional concert-going expectations, the evening features two works by Pintscher, “Study II for Treatise on the Veil” and “Uriel.”

Three-time Grammy Award-winning soprano Michelle DeYoung and LACO artists will also perform Ravel’s “Three Poemes de Stéphane Mallarmé”; Berg’s Four pieces for clarinet and piano; Grisey’s Stèle for two percussionists and Xenakis’s Rebonds A.

“Session provides an ideal platform for spotlighting Matthias Pintscher’s remar-kably eclectic and compelling musical aesthetic,” said LACO Executive Director Scott Harrison. “A forward-thinking artist who is highly regarded in new music circles globally, he imbues his work with meticulous detail and an element of surprise. And Mack Sennett Studios, a decidedly unexpected setting for chamber music, offers a unique backdrop for his creative vision.”

In addition to curating Session, Pintscher guest conducts on LACO’s Orchestra Series on March 2 at 8 p.m. at the Alex Theatre and March 3 at 7 p.m. at Royce Hall.

Tickets start at $25.

Session, whose programs test ideas about the relationship between performers and audiences, continues on April 4 with conductor and composer and wild Up director Christopher Rountree, whose work stands at the intersection of classical music, new music, performance art and pop.

Mack Sennett Studios is located at 1215 Bates Ave. in Hollywood. For information and tickets, visit laco.org, or call (213)622-7001, ext. 1.
