Friday, November 7, 2008, 8 pm THOMAS ADÈS Piano Program of works by Igor Stravinsky as transcribed in collaboration with violinist Samuel Dushkin:
On March 16, 1937, the Music Branch of Community Arts Association (CAMA’s predecessor) presented conductor/composer/pianist Igor Stravinsky and violinist Samuel Dushkin at the Lobero Theatre. The program featured arrangements of Stravinsky’s music for piano and violin, the fruits of this historic collaboration. Over 71 years later, celebrated British conductor/composer/pianist Thomas Adès brings a program of Stravinsky/Dushkin transcriptions to the Lobero in collaboration with colleague Anthony Marwood, violinist of the Florestan Trio. “In England, Adès is not just known – he’s a major force in the country’s musical life.” Sponsor: The CAMA Women’s Board |
