2022 Chamber Music Gala
Sunday November 20th
1:00–3:00pm
The Newington-Cropsey Foundation
25 Cropsey Lane Hastings-on-Hudson, NY 10706
The first concert of the 2022-2023 programming year will be our annual gala graciously hosted by The Newington-Cropsey Foundation in Hastings-on-Hudson. This concert will feature the piano duo team of Claire Aebersold and Ralph Neiweem. A highlight of this concert will be a performance of Brahm’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15, arranged by Brahms for piano duo. After intermission, Aebersold and Neiweem will take us on a tour Fin de Siècle Paris with works by Carrier, Stravinsky and Ravel. They will perform Ravel’s breathtaking Rapsodie Espagnole, two scenes from Stravinsky’s Petroushka, and Chabrier’s Bouree Fantesque all arranged by their respective composers for four hands.
At the conclusion of Sunday afternoon’s music, the Cropsey Foundation will host a gala reception (included in the ticket price). Guests are invited to enjoy the works of Hudson River School painter, Jasper Cropsey in the gallery. In addition to the permanent collection on display, the Newington-Cropsey Foundation will have Cropsey’s 1896 painting, Autumn in the Highlands of the Hudson on view. This work was painted by Cropsey after he moved to Hastings-on-Hudson in his studio at Ever Rest. This will be the first time the Foundation has displayed this painting to the public.
Tickets to the Sunday concert are priced at $100 each. Because this concert is a fundraiser, 50% of the cost of your ticket is tax deductible AND will be eligible for matching funds from ArtsWestchester.
