The DMA Viola Recital Is A Few Days Away

Hello Friends, Family, and Colleagues! April is shaping up to be an incredible month! Please take a look to see what is coming up!

On Monday, April 4th, at 7:30 PM, I will be performing at Elebash Recital Hall, at the Graduate Center (CUNY) with pianist Juliana Han. This is the third in a series of recitals that we have given together. The Graduate Center is located at 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. (For more information: please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/717762368359380/.) There are two ways to see and hear this performance! The first is taking a trip to the Graduate Center, a short walk from Penn Station and Grand Central Station in Manhattan. If you live far away, FEAR NOT! We will be live streaming this performance. The live stream link is below:

Our performance will include Günter Raphael's Sonata for Solo Viola, Op. 46, No. 4, along with Hans Gál's Sonata for Viola and Piano, Johannes Brahms' Sonata for Viola and Piano in F minor, Op. 120, No. 1, Alan Hovhannes's Chahagir for Solo Viola, and Miklós Rózsa's Introduction and Allegro for Solo Viola.

After Monday's recital, I have two other performances this month that I am excited to share with you. The first is a concert with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, at the Bardavon Theater in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Saturday, April 16, 2016, at 8 PM. The program includes Meira Warschauer's Like Streams in the Desert,
Ernest Bloch's Schelomo (Hebraic Rhapsody), with Dane Johansen on Cello, and Leonard Bernstein's Symphony #3- Kaddish. The Bernstein will be narrated by Estelle Parsons, who played the mother of Roseanne on the TV Show Roseanne.

Another exciting performance is an upcoming collaboration between members of the Red Door Chamber Players, and the wonderful singer-songwriter, Concetta Abbate. We will be doing a live Album Recording of Concetta's music at the venue Spectrum, 121 Ludlow Street, #2, New York, NY.
