Upcoming Performances of Gregory K. Williams, Violist, November 2015

Greetings Music Lovers of All Varieties (Friends, Family, Colleagues, Students, et al),

     I hope this message finds everyone well.  The fall has been an absolute blast, filled with much music making, running, and writing.  September and October have also been rather intense, with performances around New York City, the Hudson Valley and Long Island.  Before everyone starts carving turkeys, tofurkey, and boiling their cranberries, I wanted to let you all know of a few exciting performances coming up this month.

     Next Wednesday, November 11, 2015, at 7:30 PM, I will have the distinct privilege of joining forces with cellist Philip A. Ewell, Professor of Music at Hunter College, on a faculty recital that he is organizing.  Together with violinist Elena Peres, and pianist Steven Graff, we will be performing W. A. Mozart's Piano Quartet in G Minor, K. 478.  Also featured on the program will be Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A Minor, Op. 50.  The concert will take place in the Ida K. Lang Recital Hall, at Hunter College.



  
    Later this month, I will be among a section of fine violists, performing with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Saturday, November 21, 2015, 8 PM. We will be performing under the baton of Randall Craig Fleischer, performing works by Bartok, Ravel, and Sibelius.  Details for tickets can be found below:

As the weather continues to cool down, I will be writing away, (amidst a Dissertation on the unaccompanied viola works of GΓΌnter Raphael) practicing, working with several fine students, running, spending some quality time with loved ones, and preparing for a few upcoming recitals that will take place in the months ahead.  I will keep you updated with more details soon!

Musically yours,

Greg Williams, Violist
