Our program this Monday, April 27 falls on the 100th anniversary of the death of the mystical, romantic Chopin of Russia, Alexander Scriabin.  In tribute, CSUN piano professor Dmitry Rachmanov will perform Scriabin's Piano Sonata #5 as well as some of his shorter gems.


We are happy to welcome LA Phil cellist Tao Ni, making his CU debut with veteran Harout Senekeremian on piano. They will perform Robert Schumann's delightful Five Pieces in Folk Style Op.102 and David Popper's Elfentaze Op.39

Our good friend cellist Evgeny Tonkha returns to CU with a new friend, pianist Anastasya Terenkova on piano. An international soloist and chamber musician, Anastasya's impressive musical pedigree began at the famed Gnessin School in Moscow and continued at the Paris Conservatoire.

Pianist Anna Sarkisova is returning to CU with a violinist Yueun Kim, who is making her CU debut with Brahms Sonata No. 3.

Classical Underground Showcase 
   


"The Grunion Hunters" oil on board 36" x 48" 
Figure and Color


Classical Underground is very happy to present the esteemed California plein air painter and passionate Undergrounder Stephen Mirich's new work "The Grunion Hunters". It is significant in a number of ways.
There are two great trends in California's serious contemporary representational art: a historically strong plein-air tradition, and a relatively recent classical figure movement.
California experience informs both venerable branches of the representational school. The strength of color tradition of the California plein air school informs the classical understanding of figure, while strong contemporary figurative representation influences the plein air approach, signifying the exciting phenomenon of this specifically Californian artistic "knowledge spill-over." Both trends inform each other, making them expand their boundaries and turning California today into the hotbed of a new representational movement.
Stephen's new work is an exciting example of such vibrant interaction. While successfully reconciling difficult coloristic problems, it ventures into capturing multiple figures embedded in moonlight.
