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 URL:https://valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org/event/the-piano-as-orchestra-chopin-clara-robert-schumann/ LOCATION:Hanna Boys Center\, 17000 Arnold Dr\, Sonoma\, CA\, 95476\, United States CATEGORIES:2023 Festival,In Person,Livestream ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Weekend-I-Concert-2-V2.png ORGANIZER;CN="VMMF":MAILTO:info@valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230716T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230716T143000 DTSTAMP:20260410T065647 CREATED:20230620T210819Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230704T043837Z UID:9635-1689517800-1689517800@valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org SUMMARY:Blattner Lecture Series - Nic McGegan DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 16 \n2:3O PM | Nicholas McGegan: EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE. \nFrom the time of Handel up to the invention of the phonograph\, every family that could afford it aspired to possess a keyboard instrument in their parlour. Owning a harpsichord or piano brought the whole musical world into the living room. The family\, especially the daughters\, could play the latest tunes from the capital and arrangements of arias from the hit operas of the day. One could even hold a ball at home\, playing the same fashionable menuets or waltzes that were danced at court. \nPart of our Blattner series of lectures.

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.

CONNECTING: 2021 Apprentice Performance - Schubert & Weber DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKET 5:00pm   BUY TICKET 7:00pm \nTwo concerts in person at Hanna Boys Center \nThis year\, with all safety protocols in place\, VMMF was determined to connect in person with all five of our Apprentices. From New Haven\, New York\, and Montreal\, these five extraordinary young musicians come together for the first time in beautiful Sonoma – forming new friendships\, working with new mentors\, and learning a fresh approach to chamber music on historical instruments. In this concert we enjoy the fruits of their labor in Schubert’s Grand Duo for violin and piano\, and in a rarely heard gem by Carl Maria von Weber\, one of the most important pioneers of Romanticism. Both of these pieces were written during the composers’ early 20s\, around the same age as the young performers in this concert. \nKako Miura and Vivian Mayers\, violin\nRamón Carrera-Martínez\, viola\nDrake Driscoll\, cello\nSuren Barry\, fortepiano \n  \nFULL VIRTUAL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION URL:https://valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org/event/live-concert-connecting-2021-apprentice-performance-schubert-weber/ LOCATION:Hanna Boys Center\, 17000 Arnold Dr\, Sonoma\, CA\, 95476\, United States CATEGORIES:Festival 2021,In Person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Vivian-Mayers-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="VMMF":MAILTO:info@valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210725T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210725T180000 DTSTAMP:20260410T065647 CREATED:20210317T225604Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210427T194115Z UID:6471-1627232400-1627236000@valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org SUMMARY:CONNECTING: 2021 Apprentice Performance - Schubert & Weber DESCRIPTION:Reserve virtual ticket\nFULL FESTIVAL SUBSCRIPTION\n  \nThis year\, with all safety protocols in place\, VMMF was determined to connect in person with all five of our Apprentices.
