October Night - Season's Opening!
this coming Monday, the 3rd @ 8 p.m.
@ Alexey Steele Grand Atelier
RAND RESOURCES, LLC
October 3 marks not only the start of our ninth season, but we'll
also celebrate the birthday of our dear amigo Eduardo Delgado (just
returned from playing in Italy and Argentina and about to leave for
concerts in China and Thailand), who will be bringing us gifts of Ravel
and Granados. Join us in wishing "Feliz cumpleaños querido Eduardo"!
At our last concert in June, we witnessed the birth of a thrilling
new partnership with Anton Smirnov on piano, Evgeny Tonkha on cello,
and Dmitry Olevsky on violin playing an all-too-brief, luscious
movement of the Mendelssohn Trio in D minor, and leaving everyone
hungry for more. We're in luck because they are back to serve up the
whole ravishing thing.
Evgeny and Dmitry will be joined by Erik Boulanger for a special
presentation of "newborn" instruments made by celebrated Ojai-based
luthier Brian Lisus.
The exceedingly fine Russian pianist Alex Slobodyanik, now a Los
Angeles native, returns to CU with a selection of Chopin works
including the Scherzo in B-flat Major and 4 etudes.
And for the first time in CU history, we will present a piano
CONCERTO! Well, not with an actual orchestra, but with a second piano
playing a reduction of the orchestral score, as pianists traditionally
do when readying for an orchestral performance (or anytime there isn't
an orchestra handy). CU's very own audio recording genius Noel Gould
will play the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor K.
466, accompanied on second piano by Naomi Sumitami, winner of the USC
Concerto Competition. Noel is preparing for the Moments of Music
Foundation Piano Concerto Competition for Amateurs & Teachers at
Steinway Piano Gallery in Beverly Hills on October 9. The winner will
play with an orchestra for real at Zipper Hall on Nov. 5. Go Noel!
As always - bring your spirits, food and drink for you and your friends to enjoy.
