The Pittance Chamber Music’s 2019-20 season opens with “Nate’s World” on Sept. 15 at 3 p.m. at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music, 100 N. Hill Ave., #105.

Los Angeles Opera Orchestra Principal Bass Nathan Farrington will take the audience on a musical safari ranging from Hayden to Hank Williams. Farrington will be joined on piano by Teddy Abrams, music director of the Louisville Orchestra, and Los Angeles Opera Orchestra Concertmaster Roberto Cani, New York-based percussionist Gabriel Globus-Hoenich and guitarist Molly Miller.

“Nate’s World” brings together brilliant, classically-educated musicians with an expanded musical vision. They demonstrate the skills they honed in the conservatory as they journey through a diverse landscape of musical genres and styles.

“We will play some jazz, some original compositions and each of us will play additional instruments and reimagine a larger orchestra classical work using our unique voices in a new interpretation,” Farrington said. “Los Angeles rewards personal creativity and pushes us to think broadly. The first half is what we were taught in school; the second half is what we’ve discovered out in the real world.”
