SUMMARY:Virtue and Virtuosity
DESCRIPTION:The words are intricately related but diverge. Virtuosity: music that glorifies the possibilities of the instrument and the prowess of the performer—that titillates and stuns the audience in the Romantic tradition of Paganini.  It’s the violinist tight-rope walking on the strings\, performing impossible feats\, stretching the capabilities of the instrument\, creating pacts with the Devil. \nSaint Saëns will dazzle (his gorgeous Rondo Capriccioso\, a minefield for the violinist\, will be performed on the cello\, exponentially more challenging!). And introducing Russian/Ukrainian composer Nikolai Kapustin\, whose Preludes offer a “Red and Hot” fusion of jazz and classical forms. \nPyrotechnics and acrobatics? Mastery of content and form? Craft plus magic as the ideal… According to Rodin\, the greatest virtuosity is when you don’t notice it. The program touches on some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of art and culminates with the emotionally compelling and ineffably beautiful Brahms Piano Trio Op. 8. \nAdam Golka\, piano; Giora Schmidt\, violin; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Philip Thompson\, cello \n\nVirtual Ticket: You will receive an email with a link to a private video one week after the performance.
