Grammy Award-winning Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov is well known to classical music lovers around the world. His appearances at the major concert halls are always highly anticipated events commanding sold-out houses. Winner of Gramophone’s 2016 Artist of the Year award, Trifinov has made a spectacular entrance to the classical music scene as a solo artist and a high caliber champion of the concerto repertoire.

Recognized for the dazzling technique and stunning sensitivity which earned him well-deserved celebrity status, the 28-year old pianist is still exploring new artistic expressions. Notorious for his emotional interpretation of the works by Chopin and Rachmaninoff, this season he takes on the scores by Beethoven, Schumann, and Prokofiev. The June 2019 performance of this program at the Barbican in London received rave reviews from the music critics and the public. The Guardian points out that Trifonov keeps “revealing new aspects of his artistry.”  Expect to be dazzled once again at his Caramoor recital on July 26!

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.

    Music in NYC: “Archduke Rudolph: Beethoven’s Pupil and Patron” Program Presented by Aspect Foundation

    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.
