CLASSICAL SATURDAYS

Tempesta de Mare
January 16th

Grammy-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan and harpsichordist-pianist Adam Pearl perform French and English songs from the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Henry Purcell’s songs, admired for their innate sense of the English language combined with melodic flair, find their equal in Benjamin Britten’s works, including perhaps his best known song, The Last Rose of Summer. At the other side of the Channel, French court composers, including Couperin, inspired one of that countries’ most famous Impressionist composers, Debussy.

An Evening of Love Songs with Artists from the Academy of Vocal Arts
February 13th

Get in the mood for Valentine’s Day with artists from the Academy of Vocal Arts, who will share love songs from operas, operettas, and classic Broadway. There will be something for everyone as these professional singers explore the theme of love, both reciprocated and unrequited!

Sejoon Park
March 12th

The amazing Korean pianist Sejoon Park will perform one of the most difficult piano solos, “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky. This ten-movement piece shadows a visitor’s experience of looking at a series of paintings. Park will also perform Maurice Ravel’s “Miroirs,” a suite for solo piano, and Myra Hess’s 1922 transcription of J. S. Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”

Tempesta di Mare: Duos for Violins and Violas
April 2nd

Tempesta di Mare’s principal violist Daniela Pierson and violinist Christof Richter are sharing the joy of playing a program of duos for two violins and for violin and viola. Whether playing with teachers as students or with peers as professionals, duets let us share musical thoughts with other musicians, often “saying” through music what words cannot express. Together these consummate musicians will impart the wit of Telemann’s Swift-inspired Gulliver suite, the mischievousness of a Mozart duo for violin and viola, folk song settings by Bartók on gut strings, and their very personal musical dialect in their own duo-improvisations.
