Music in NYC: Russian Elegy Program of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Lyadov at Aspect Chamber Music Concert
Aspect Chamber Music Series presents the Russian Elegy program performed by violinist Misha Keylin, cellist Zlatomir Fung, and pianist Pavel Nersessian on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 7.30 pm at Bohemian National Hall; illustrated talk by BBC radio host Stephen Johnson
Introspective and moody, the music of the Russian composers projects the warmth and emotional depth which are precious gifts for chamber music lovers. This Holiday season three brilliant musicians, violinist Misha Keylin, cellist Zlatomir Fung, and pianist Pavel Nersessian, are teaming up for an elegiac program of music by Lyadov, Glinka, and Tchaikovsky.
Veteran BBC radio host and musicologist Stephen Johnson leads an illustrated lecture on the three Russian composers on the bill, exploring the theme of the Russian elegy. Johnson is a writer, broadcaster and lecturer on music.
Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), influenced by the rich folk tradition and orthodox church chants in the Russian province which he heard in childhood, is considered to be the grandfather of Russian classical music. Better known for the distinctly Russian operas, his oeuvre includes expressive chamber music written yearly in his career. Glinka’s work had inspired a plethora of Russian composers including Tchaikovsky and Lyadov.
Treat yourself for an evening of exceptional music played by the amazing young musicians.
