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.

Lyrical, alluring and disarming, Deborah Karpel’s performance in The Midwood Miracle is a delicious treat and a familial story at the same time. Premiered in New York City in 2017, the show on Sunday, March 17 at 1:00 pm is part of the Jewish Heritage Series at Congregations Shaare Shamayim Synagogue in Philadelphia, PA.

The show performed by Deborah Karpel with Michael Lewis Smith at the piano and directed by Aimee Todoroff tells a family story about a Jewish girl growing up in coal mining Appalachia, VA. Some details of the script are fictional, some are taken from family archives. Vivid elements of life in Appalachia, where Karpel’s mother grew up, are followed by the urban tales set in Brooklyn, NY. The scenes of how the character’s parents met, their ideals and a mixup of quirky twists are wonderfully delivered by Karpel’s amazing performance and singing. The original compositions co-written by Karpel with Ted Kociolek and Rachelle Garniez are perfectly mashed along with traditional Americana, western swing, operatic arias, improvised art songs, and Yiddish songs. Come and see the miracle that could have only happened in Midwood. BUY TICKETS
