Special Concert Event:
A Gilded Age Evening in New York
Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 7:30 p.m.
Lydia Artymiw, piano; Yehonatan Berick, violin; Yehuda Hanani, cello; Richard Chamberlain, special guest
Not only a great connoisseur of fine art, the industrialist Henry Clay Frick was also a music enthusiast. He supported emerging enterprises (among them, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and New York's Peoples' Symphony Concerts) and enjoyed warm relations with leading musical figures of his day, including Pablo Casals, Camille Saint-Saëns, and Fritz Kreisler. With Dvořák's Dumky Trio, Saint-Saëns's Rondo Capriccioso, and music by Handel and Gounod, this program celebrates Frick's lesser-known passion surrounded by his fabled art. Actor Richard Chamberlain helps recreate a Gilded Age evening with readings from Frick family diaries and period accounts. A reception will follow the performance. Presented in conjunction with Close Encounters with Music.

Special Concert Event:
Chopin in Paris
Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 7:30 p.m.
Jeffrey Swann, piano; Jennifer Rivera, mezzo-soprano; Yehuda Hanani, cello
The European salon was alive and well during the years between 1880 and the outbreak of World War I, when Henry Clay Frick and his family made frequent trips to Paris. With gusto and finesse, the Fricks recreated these intimate evenings of music and letters back home, entertaining statesmen and financiers as well as harpists, organists, and other visiting soloists. This program is a toast to the salon and features Chopin's ballades, waltzes, Polonaises, and the poignant cello sonata, framed by works of his contemporaries, including his friendly rival Franz Liszt. Jennifer Rivera brings her vocal luster to arias by Donizetti and Bellini, whose operas influenced Chopin's bel canto style, and to his rarely heard Polish songs. The performance will be followed by a reception. This special concert event is presented in conjunction with Close Encounters with Music.
