The artistic brilliance of the concert hall, blended together with the casual cadence of a living room concert \u2013 Artistic Director Jonathan Crow and pianist Philip Chiu are back! Their program explores Beethoven\u2019s fascinating legacy by tracing quotations of his work from Brahms right through to the present day.<\/p>\n
The program begins with Kevin Lau\u2019s If Life Were a Mirror\u2026 which the composer describes to be: \u201clike a landscape strewn with familiar musical artifacts\u201d and quotes such masterworks as Beethoven\u2019s \u201cMoonlight\u201d Sonata and Handel\u2019s \u201cArrival of the Queen of Sheba\u201d. Meanwhile, former TSM Academy Fellow Alice Hong returns with \u2026for not all is lost. Reflective, with moments of drama and hopefulness, this work was commissioned for this pair during TSM\u2019s 2021 digital Festival and is receiving its much anticipated in-person Premiere. Rounding off the program are two popular works of the violin repertoire performed with mastery and power: Brahms\u2019 \u201cRegensonate\u201d with its recurrent rain motif, and R. Strauss\u2019 Violin Sonata, demanding technical brilliance and lyrical beauty from violinist and pianist alike.<\/p>\n
