John Knowles Paine Concert Hall
An intimate concert of music by Australian composer Andrew Schultz presented by outstanding performers from the US and Australia: Sofia Troncoso (soprano), Alan Toda-Ambaras (cello), Bernard Lanskey (piano) and Stephen Emmerson (piano). The concert features two award-winning song cycles, Paradise and To the evening star, as well as piano works commissioned by Bernard and Stephen. A highlight will be the tender piano duet, 12 Variations (‘Gesangvoll, mit innigster Empfindung’) which is based on a brief few bars of haunting music by Beethoven. The program will be completed with two solo piano works: Sea-Change and Nocturnes and Variations.
Andrew Schultz is the Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser Visiting Professor of Australian Studies at the Harvard Music Department this academic year. The concert is sponsored by the Australian Studies Committee at Harvard University.
Free and open to all. The event will also be livestreamed via the Harvard Music Department Youtube channel. Free parking will be available at the Broadway Garage.
