Anne-Marie McDermott, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg’s long-time recital partner, performs Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives, a fleeting set of impressions assembled from twenty piano miniatures. The Shostakovich Piano Concerto is a high-spirited, youthful, and rhythmically heart-pounding showcase for the soloist and orchestra alike. Ms. McDermott performed it to critical acclaim on a recent tour of the U.S. with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. She has also recorded Prokofiev’s complete sonatas and chamber works.
Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence, a richly expressive and joyous romantic piece for sextet or string orchestra, was featured in the 1999 documentary about Ms. Salerno-Sonnenberg, Speaking in Strings.
Tickets are $32-$54. Patrons 30 and under can purchase half-priced tickets.
