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.

Natalia Lavrova, a sensible and highly sophisticated pianist, presents a program of fairytale-like fantasies told through the music. Always searching for new additions to her ever expanding active repertoire, with this program Lavrova takes on some of the pieces considered to be the most challenging such as Rachmaninoff’s Variations on a theme of Corelli or Liszt’s Dante Sonata.

This potent mix of music which is “architecturally” structured in its form as Lavrova puts it yet inspired by the dreams and tales requires a deep understanding of the scores and an impeccable technique. Both will surely be appreciated by the audience. Lavrova’s appearances with recitals and concert performances around the world brought her high acclaim and enthusiastic reviews for her style and command of the instrument. The virtuosic program on January 6, 2019 is promising to be a gratifying experience for every music lover. For tickets click here.
