SUMMARY:THE SYMPHONY AS A TRIO: Mozart & Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:Mozart’s Piano Quartets are written like concertos: the piano is featured\, accompanied by a sort of “mini orchestra” of 3 string players. We are thrilled to feature VMMF friend Audrey Vardanega as the “soloist” with three generations of early music experts in the accompanying roles. True to this year’s theme\, the program ends with an arrangement of Beethoven’s 2nd Symphony for Piano Trio by the composer himself. On an 18th-century fortepiano you can really hear the trumpets and drums!  \nPROGRAM  \nMozart\, Quartet in G minor\, K.478 (1785) \nBeethoven\, Symphony No. 2 in D Major\, Op. 36 (arranged for piano trio)  \nARTISTS \nKeir GoGwilt\, violin\nRavenna Lipchik\, volin\nElizabeth Blumenstock\, viola\nElisabeth Reed\, cello\nTanya Tomkins\, cello\nAudrey Vardanega\, fortepiano\nEric Zivian\, fortepiano \n  \n\nApproximately 2 hours with intermission | Programs and artists subject to change \nSUBSCRIPTIONS \nWeekend I Pass Festival Pass Virtual Pass \nSINGLE TICKETS \nSingle Tickets Livestream Tickets \n

SUMMARY:THE PIANO AS ORCHESTRA: Chopin\, Clara and Robert Schumann
DESCRIPTION:With its nearly limitless imaginative possibilities\, the piano is the ultimate chameleon. It can sound like an orchestra\, a voice\, a percussion instrument…you name it! The orchestral qualities of the piano make it the perfect composer’s sandbox. Who better to show us the full range of the piano than virtuoso pianist and composer extraordinaire\, Chopin. Chopin brought the full range of human emotion – and musical sound – to his intimate interpretations. He rarely performed in large spaces\, preferring the convivial and appreciative salons hosted by his musical supporters and patrons.  \nPianist Audrey Vardanega performs a selection of Waltzes and Nocturnes chosen to recreate the ambiance of the 19th century salon and illuminate the wide variety of color and dramatic representation Chopin brought to the instrument. His innovations shaped the way we understand the piano as it exists today. \nTo open the program\, Ravenna Lipchik and Music Director Eric Zivian play Clara Schumann’s achingly beautiful Three Romances for violin and piano. Clara Schumann was another virtuoso pianist\, who toured Europe frequently\, and left Franz Liszt awe-struck when she played for him and performed his works. Finally\, the program ends with one of the most orchestral works by Clara’s husband Robert Schumann\, his Piano Quintet. Robert’s warmth and humanity shine through in this chamber music gem\, heard here as it was originally performed\, on a mid-19th century Viennese piano and gut strings. \nBlattner Series Lecture \nThis 4pm concert is preceded by a free Blattner Series Lecture by Nicholas McGegan at 2:30pm. \nPROGRAM \nClara Schumann\, The Three Romances for Violin and Piano\, Op. 22 (1853) \nFrédéric Chopin\,  Select Nocturnes and Waltzes  \nRobert Schumann\, Piano Quintet in E-flat major\, Op. 44 (1842) \nARTISTS \nKeir GoGwilt\, violin\nRavenna Lipchik\, volin\nCarmen Johnson-Pájaro\, violin\nLiana Bérubé\, viola\nTanya Tomkins\, cello\nAudrey Vardanega\, fortepiano\nEric Zivian\, fortepiano \n\n2:30 Lecture & 4pm Concert \nApproximately 2 hours with intermission \n  \nSINGLE TICKETS: \nSingle Ticket Livestream Ticket \nSUBSCRIPTIONS: \nWeekend I Pass Festival Pass Virtual Pass
