SUMMARY:Beethoven’s (Belated) Birthday Bash\, Part B | Late works
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s (Belated) Birthday Bash\nSaturday\, April 30 7:00pm Part A | Early works \nSunday\, May 1 at 3:00pm Part B | Late works\nIrvington Presbyterian Church\n25 N Broadway\nIrvington\, NY 10533 \nComplete Works for Cello and Piano\, in two concerts\nPeter Seidenberg\, cello and Hui-Mei Lin\, piano \nTickets:\n$40 for single concert [only Part A or Part B]\n$70 for both concerts [Part A and Part B] \n\n			\n				Tickets for Performances\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \nThese two concerts\, originally scheduled for 2020 to coincide with Beethoven’s 250th birthday\, were postponed due to the pandemic. We will now celebrate the 252nd year of his birth. Cellist Peter Seidenberg and pianist Hui-Mei Lin will bring this sparkling repertoire vividly to life. \nFrom 1795 to 1816 Beethoven composed five sonatas and three sets of variations for cello and piano. Each piece unto itself is a beautiful gem\, written with unusual compositional cleverness\, defying norms of Classical Style. Taken as a whole these pieces create an autobiographical arc exemplifying each one of Beethoven’s compositional periods. The two concerts encompass all these pieces\, in chronological order\, offering the listener an experience of the biographical span of Beethoven’s life. \nPart A jumps immediately into the world of Beethoven as a virtuosic star throughout Europe. Life is optimistic. Part B explores the heroic aspects of Beethoven’s compositions\, he’s at the height of his artistic power. Then we delve into the deeply personal\, almost diary-like compositions of his late period.  Through each concert\, listeners will journey through Beethoven’s life and compositional evolution. They will hear not only his maturation as a composer but also his developing treatment of the partnership between cello and piano. \nAs appropriate for a Viennese birthday celebration\, each concert will be followed by cake and a champagne toast! Let’s Party!!\n			\n				Tickets for Performances\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				All attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination at the door. Until further notice\, attendees will be required to wear masks at all indoor RiverArts events. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION EMAIL: info@riverarts.org\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				#RiverArtsChamberMusic\n#BeethovensBirthday\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				—\nPerformers

SUMMARY:Richard Strauss\, "Four Last Songs" | New arrangement for chamber ensemble\, world premiere
DESCRIPTION:Richard Strauss\, arr. Paul Brantley\, Four Last Songs | New arrangement for chamber ensemble\, world premiere \nSunday\, March 6 at 4:00pm\nSt Barnabas Episcopal Church\, \n2 Revolutionary Road \nArdsley\, NY\nTickets: $40 \n \n			\n				Tickets for Concert\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				RiverArts Chamber Music Series celebrates the 2022 season with a world premiere performance of a new adaptation for chamber ensemble of Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs. This work has been commissioned by RiverArts in association with PREformances Chamber Collaborative. \nEsteemed New York City composer Paul Brantley adapted Strauss’ original\, scored for soprano and full orchestra\, for a chamber octet. This new work is scored for soprano\, clarinet\, string quartet\, double bass\, and piano. More than a reduction or adaptation\, it is analogous to a translation into a new language while at the same time being note for note faithful to the original. According to the New Grove Dictionary of Music\, “These autumnal\, luminescent late songs… are among Strauss’s finest works in any genre.” They were written in 1948 near the end of Strauss’ life and were not performed until 1950\, after his death. \nPaul Brantley is a contemporary composer much in demand. In addition to his own compositions\, he has made a specialty of these kinds of adaptations. “I relish the opportunity to have a creative encounter with such a great work — and with the extraordinary poetry of Hermann Hesse which Strauss sets. My modus operandi is not so much to (re-) arrange the work but to adapt it as faithfully and idiomatically as possible.” \nAlso on the program are Brahms’ Clarinet Trio and Stravinsky’s Suite from A Soldier’s Tale. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artists \n\nComposer Paul Brantley’s compositions have been performed or commissioned by\, among others\, The Knights (at Tanglewood\, BRIC\, Dumbarton Oaks and Naumburg Concerts)\, Minneapolis Guitar Quartet\, Horszowski Trio\, Flux Quartet\, New Esterházy Quartet\, Memphis Symphony Orchestra\, U.C.

SUMMARY:RiverArts Annual Chamber Music Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:RiverArts Annual Chamber Music Fundraiser\n			\n				Tickets for Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sunday November 21st1:00–3:00pm The Newington-Cropsey Foundation25 Cropsey Lane\, Hastings-on-Hudson\, NY 10706Tickets: $100* \nRiverArts Chamber Music Series begins with our annual fundraiser event\, generously hosted the Newington-Cropsey Foundation on Sunday November 21 at 1pm. All tickets to this event must be purchased in advance. There will be no ticket sales at the door and the box office will close Saturday\, November 20th\, at noon. \nProgram Update: Attendees will get a sneak peak at RiverArts’ commissioned Chamber version of Strauss’ Four Last Songs.  This is the first time the arrangement will be performed in public and is not to miss! \nThe concert will feature Arnold Schönberg’s late romantic masterpiece\, Verklärte Nacht [1899] in its original version for string sextet. A reading of Richard Dehmel’s poem\, Verklårte Nacht which inspired Schönberg’s composition will precede the musical performance. This is a rare opportunity to hear the composition in its original sextet form as it is more commonly heard in Schönberg’s expanded version for string orchestra.  \nAlso on the program will be Richard Strauss’ Piano Quartet [1886]. Written at the very beginning of what was to become an indomitable career as a composer and conductor\, Richard Strauss poured his youthful spirit into this passionate\, exuberant piece. It remarkably foreshadows all the drama of his greatest operas\, Rosenkavalier and Salome\, in a chamber music setting.   \nThe Newington-Cropsey Foundation graciously hosts this annual fundraiser concert in the beautiful setting of their gallery in Hastings-on-Hudson. A reception with light refreshments will follow the concert. \nArtistic Director for Chamber Music\, Peter Seidenberg Chamber Music Producer\, Doug Coe  \nPerformers include: Ling Ling Huang\, April Johnson and Sylvia Volpe\, violin; Chi Chi Lin Bestmann and Kathryn Lockwood\, viola; Peter Seidenberg and Alan Weinstein\, cello; Tomoko Uchino\, piano; Anton Rist\, clarinet; Allison Charney\, soprano; Edoardo Ballerini\, reader  \nTicket is 50% tax deductible.*Proof of vaccination and masks are required to attend this event \n			\n				Tickets for Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artists  \nLing Ling Huang [violin] started violin at the age of 4 with her mother Lilan Z.
