March Night
this coming Monday,
March 23rd @ 8 p.m.
March 23rd @ 8 p.m.
Music & Arts in the Studio
(and Potluck Party)
For our March program we are pleased to present for the first time the LA-based Argus Quartet (featuring Jason Issokson and Clara Kim - violins, Diane Wade - viola, and Joann Whang - cello), who
champion contemporary works in additional to traditional repertoire.
They will play a new quartet by Grammy-nominee Eric Guinevan and
commissioned for them thanks to a grant from Chamber Music America.
Pianist Danny Holt
returns to CU with some Brahms Intermezzi and a work by LA classical
and jazz composer Mike Garson (known also as a longtime pianist with
David Bowie as well as No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails and Smashing
Pumpkins).
One of the most delightful CU debuts from last season was
soprano Jennifer Lindsay, who returns with Arias from Gounod's Faust and
Verdi's La Traviata, accompanied by Mary Au.
Mary will also accompany violinist Xika Huang in Schubert's violin sonata.
Many are familiar
with Marc-Andre Hamelin as one of the premiere performers of highly
virtuosic piano repertoire, but he is undeservedly less well-known as a
composer himself. Our "resident" virtuoso Harout Senekeremian is out
to do something about that and will play Hamelin's Variations on a
Theme of Paganini, as well as some preludes by Alexander Scriabin.
As always - bring your spirits, food and drink for you and your friends to enjoy.

George Carlson is one of the preeminent American representational artists of our time. Throughout his illustrious career, George has epitomized a kind of true Master rarely seen these days.
George possesses a unique Form Sense. This rare trained ability to grasp the dimensional subject in his mind opens the possibility to express form through various mediums. This is what gave the great Old Masters of Renaissance like Leonardo and Michelangelo their astonishing versatility.
Armed with such a sense, and not being limited to one particular technique or niche that many other even good artists might be exploiting their entire lives, George has left an equally important mark on both representational sculpture and painting.
Much like with giants of the Renaissance, the key to this seamless transition is a mastery of a very particular kind of dimension-focused figure drawing. This is the secret to the unique and brilliant universality of his artistic perception that allows him to transfer his vast visual knowledge across different medium platforms, creating important contemporary works in all of them.
The doors open at 7 p.m. and music starts at 8 p.m. Unassigned seating. Directions and address are below:We are deeply honored to showcase this truly great living American Master.Thank you to our good CU friends and artists Dan Pinkham and Tom Redfield for lending us George's magnificent works from their collections.
