Beyond NYC: Sparkill Concert Series 2018-2019 Season Finale
An all-Beethoven program with pianists Vassily Primakov and Oxana Mikhailoff and cellist Ben Capps concludes the 2018-2019 concert season at the Union Arts Center in Sparkill, NY on Sunday, May 19, 2019 at 3 pm
Opting for a program of Beethoven’s sonatas wasn’t a difficult decision for the music directors of the Sparkill Concert Series. Beethoven’s music is both familiar and beloved and is always a treat in a chamber setting. The range of selections presented by the Sparkill Concert Series throughout the year offered a diversity of styles and arrangements. To wrap-up the season with Beethoven’s music is a pleasant and memorable touch.
A sonata as a music form was meant to be a piece played as opposed to a cantata, a piece sung. Starting from the Baroque period, the form was used by generations of composers. Beethoven was particularly fond of the form judging by the sheer number of expansive sonatas composed by him.
The Union Arts Center is inviting music lovers to a wonderful finale to mark its triumphant 2018 – 2019 concert season. The concert program features Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas “Appassionata” and “Les Adieux”, and Cello Sonatas No. 2, Op 5 and No. 3, Op 69 performed by Ben Capps, cello, Oxana Mikhailoff, piano, Vassily Primakov, piano.

It now combines duo’s long-standing love for the classic rock style with the newly acquired interest in Buddhism, so that the Buddhist chant rhythm and philosophy are now added into the compositions.
