After rousing performances last night by violinist Rachel Barton Pine and pianist Matthew Hagle, the New York Chamber Music Festival continues at Symphony Space.
Tonight, a Beethoven string trio shares the bill with a more modern string trio by Eugene Ysaye (1858-1931), a piano quartet by Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) and “Metamorphosis for Violin, Viola, Cello and Piano” by Gernot Wolfgang (born 1957). Violinist Elmira Darvarova, violist Ronald Carbone, cellist Samuel Magill and pianist Linda Hall will perform.
Thursday’s program offers work by two 20th century composers, Franco Alfano (1875-1954) and Vernon Duke (1903-1969)—performed by violinist Elmira Darvarova, cellist Samuel Magill, and pianist Scott Dunn.
Sunday, the final night of the festival, features chamber works by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), Claude Debussy (1862-1918), Osvaldo Golijov (born 1960), Lalo Schifrin (born 1932) and Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992). Cellist Antonio Lysy will be making his New York debut, accompanied by pianist Pascal Rogé
This is the inaugural season for the festival, directed by violinist Elmira Darvarova, formerly the concert master of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Judging by last night’s wonderful concert, the New York Chamber Music Festival is a valuable addition to the cultural life of the Upper West Side. If music be the food of love, life—or even a great Wednesday night on Upper Broadway--play on!
