SUMMARY:ROMANCE:  Clara Schumann Romances\, Mozart Concerto & German Songs
DESCRIPTION:Reserve virtual ticket\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \n  \nIn Mozart’s time\, musicians were accustomed to arranging orchestral music for smaller groups of musicians to play in their own homes. Similarly\, during the pandemic\, musicians have had to find inventive ways to share their art. In this concert\, pianist Apprentice Suren Barry follows in that tradition\, transcribing and performing one of the great Mozart Piano Concertos in a version for keyboard and string quartet\, recorded in the VMMF Directors’ Berkeley living room. Rachel Barton Pine and Eric Zivian will collaborate from a distance in Clara Schumann’s exquisite Romances\, completing this program that brings artists together in ways new and old. \nEmily Marvosh\, contralto\nFeaturing Rachel Barton Pine\, violin and Suren Barry\, piano\nElizabeth Blumenstock\, Carla Moore\, violins\nLiana Bérubé\, viola\nTanya Tomkins\, cello \nVirtual: Pre-recorded concert + Zoom reception with Festival Musicians!

SUMMARY:BLATTNER LECTURE SERIES: Alex Ross
DESCRIPTION:Watch on Youtube\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\nIn connection with VMMF’s concert “Collaboration\,” The New Yorker music critic Alex Ross explores Dvořák’s interaction with African-American music\, and particularly with the American composer and baritone Harry Burleigh. Burleigh’s meeting and ensuing friendship with Dvorak in New York had a lasting effect on Dvořák’s music\, and subsequent Black composers found Dvořák to be a useful resource. \nAlex Ross has been the music critic of The New Yorker since 1996. His first book\, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century\, published in 2007\, won a National Book Critics Circle Award and the Guardian First Book Award\, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. An essay collection\, Listen to This\, appeared in 2010. His third book\, Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music\, was published in 2020. Ross has received the George Peabody Medal\, an Arts and Letters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and a MacArthur Fellowship.

SUMMARY:COLLABORATION: Harry Burleigh\, Dvorak & others 
DESCRIPTION:Reserve VIRTUAL TICKET\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \nOne advantage of post-pandemic remote programming is the sudden realization that musicians from all over the world can play for global audiences\, without anyone having to leave their hometowns. In this concert we reach across great distances\, geographically and historically. In a recital delivered to us from Boston by the incomparable baritone\, Dashon Burton\, in collaboration with two of VMMF’s East Coast pianists on a 1901 Steinway\, we celebrate one of America’s great early 20th-century composers\, Harry Burleigh\, and his influence on a visiting colleague from afar\, Antonín Dvořák. Burleigh\, himself a baritone\, composed art songs\, and was also responsible for bringing the spiritual into the Classical song recital. While attending the National Conservatory of Music in New York in the 1890’s he made the acquaintance of Anton Dvořák\, the school’s visiting President. Dvořák\, struck by the power of the spirituals he learned from Burleigh\, used some of the melodies in his own music. This concert will feature the music of Burleigh\, Dvořák\, Leoš Janáček and other influential composers of the period. \nDashon Burton\, baritone\nRenana Gutman\, piano\nAudrey Vardanega\, piano \n  \nVirtual: Pre-recorded concert + zoom reception with Festival Musicians!
