{1.} Frédéric Chopin: The year 2010 marks both the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth and the 40th anniversary of Garrick Ohlsson becoming the first American to win the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. In celebration, Ohlsson will perform an all-Chopin recital featuring the composer’s Piano Sonata No. 2, plus a selection of Nocturnes, Polonaises, Mazurkas and more. Sponsor: Ruth McEwen |
{2.} In this special multimedia musical presentation, Tafelmusik commemorates the four-hundredth anniversary of Galileo’s first public demonstration of the telescope and the publication of Monteverdi’s opera L’Orfeo, both in 1609. The Galileo Project explores the fusion of arts, science and culture in the 17th and 18th centuries with poetic narration, high-definition astronomical images, and music by Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Purcell, Bach, Handel and more.

{4.} Lux Feminae (900-1600): Program of medieval- and renaissance-era songs and instrumentals: from anonymous Andalusian, Sephardic and Christian traditions; from the Codex de la Huelgas and Llibre Vermell de Montserrat; and by composers Beatriz de Dia, Martin Codax and Bartomeu Càrceres.
