(and Potluck Party)
@ Alexey Steele Grand Atelier @ 8 p.m.
A friend of Brahms said of his Clarinet Trio,
"It is as though the instruments were in love with each other." We can
hear this romance for ourselves as Uriel Vanchestein (clarinet),
Evgeny Tonkha (cello), and Clara Cheng (piano) perform Brahms' Trio in A
minor, op. 114.
We are excited to welcome the distinguished pianist and newly minted UCLA professor Inna Faliks to Los Angeles and Classical Underground, performing Beethoven's rarely heard Fantasy op. 77 (watch a video teaser here: http://vimeo.com/36656346) and Rodion Shchedrin's brawny Basso Ostinato.
Our great friends of CU, violinist Moni Simeonov and pianist Pepi Pilobossian, return to play a movement of the glorious Franck Sonata and some rustic Bulgarian tunes, which he plays with an authentic and irresistible spirit like no else.
Young but already veteran performer Nicholas King continues his CU exploration of Liszt with the titanic Sonata in B minor, one of the touchstones of the virtuoso piano repertoire.
As always - bring your spirits, food and drink for you and your friends to enjoy.

We are most grateful to our supportive friends at
for graciously providing us with their incomparable instrument
Model D, CD-551.
Model D, CD-551.
Having spent the last two weeks with my Dad in the hospital made me
appreciate even more so what a fortune it is to have such a true giant
among us. We talked about his days in the famed Repin Academy and about
some key principles that made the school so incredibly strong.
The very particular and specific approach to seeing and comprehending the form that was developed through intense drawing study of the figure allowed its best students a remarkable stylistic versatility in painting evident throughout my Dad's illustrious career.
Those principles are more relevant than ever today as we witness the incredible resurgence, even if still underground, of a serious realism in the contemporary American Art.
It is a unique privilege to be part of such institutional memory.
