The Aspect Foundation’s April event will be an aspiring night of Beethoven’s music and an illuminating lecture by Ignat Solzhenitsyn about the relationship between the composer with his talented student and patron Archduke Rudolph. Ignat Solzhenitsyn, an acclaimed Russian-American pianist, and conductor, is joined by violinist Korbinian Altenberger and cellist Na-Young Baek for an all Beethoven program of “Archduke” Piano Trio in B-flat major, Op. 97 and the Violin Sonata No.10 in G major, Op.96.

The youngest son of Emperor Leopold II, Rudolph, destined by the canons of the early 19th century to lead the clergy, was appointed Archbishop of Olomouc and Cardinal in 1819. From 1803 Rudolph began taking piano and composition lessons from Beethoven. They became friends and continued their relationship until the end of their lives. Beethoven dedicated 14 of his compositions to his friend including the Archduke Piano Trio.

The superb program, top-notch musicians, and an engaging atmosphere created by the Aspect Foundation will surely make it a night to remember.

Music in NYC: ‘When Tchaikovsky Met Brahms’ Program Presented by Aspect Foundation

The reputed Sitkovetsky Duo with violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky, and pianist Wu Qian will perform a delightful music program preceded by a scholarly lecture by professor Nicolas Chong. The evening’s theme is a story about the Romantic period’s grand masters: Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Grieg.

It is well-known that Brahms, a giant of the German school, and Tchaikovsky, the most popular Russian composer of all time had an acrimonious relationship. While they shared a birthday, March 7, and belonged to the same circle of friends and music connoisseurs, the story goes that they disliked each other’s music and were not that friendly with each other. This did not prevent them from sharing friends and spending good time in each other’s company. Grieg who with his wife was also part of the same social circle was skillfully able to smooth things out between the other two composers.

The program on March 6, 2019 at Italian Academy of Columbia University features the works of all three:

Brahms Violin Sonata No. 2 in A major, Op. 100
Tchaikovsky Souvenir d’un lieu cher, Op. 42
Grieg Sonata No. 3 in C minor

The program highlights the strength of the individual style of composition and will make you forget the behind the scenes gossips. Get tickets at 33% off with code ARTSNY23 at checkout when attending the Aspect Foundation Concert Series for the first time.
