Forbidden love is in the air as Andrés Orozco-Estrada takes listeners from the streets of Bernstein's New York to Tchaikovsky's fantasy on Shakespearean Verona. The Argentine Pampas region is the setting of Ginastera's vibrant ballet about a city boy who wins the heart of a rancher's daughter. Barber's lush and virtuosic Violin Concerto features Benjamin Beilman, whose “rich sound conveys both dreamy lyricism and heated intensity” (The New York Times). Please note: Hilary Hahn must regrettably withdraw from her planned September 19 and 20 performances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Earlier this summer, Hahn suffered from a double pinched nerve; as part of her treatment, her medical team advised her to abstain from performing. While Hahn is expected to recover in time for the majority of her fall engagements and is improving steadily, she is not yet cleared to perform.

We take our cue from the TSO's Masterworks series concert Tchaikovsky's Fifth, which features, well, Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. The concert marks a return to Toledo for the conductor Giordano Bellincampi, and star violinist Benjamin Beilman (who plays the concerto by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor on the concert) joins us by phone for a getting-to-know-you session (including a Twitter smackdown quiz!).

In advance of WFMT's 70th Anniversary on December 13, 2021, WFMT celebrates two of the adults behind the Chicago area's finest young performers: violin and viola teachers Almita and Roland Vamos. Their past students include Rachel Barton Pine, Jennifer Koh, Benjamin Beilman, and Ryan Meehan of the Calidore Quartet; and their present students appear on Introductions rather frequently, as well ...

Work for harp by Salzedo performed by Catrin Finch, harp on April 14, 2001 and work for violin and piano by Ravel performed by Benjamin Beilman, violin and Alessio Bax, piano on May 17, 2015.Salzedo: BalladeRavel: Sonata for Violin and Piano (1923)Harpist and educator Carlos Salzedo was born in France and trained at the Paris Conservatoire in piano at the age of nine, before taking up the harp and returning to the Conservatoire to earn a degree in that instrument as well. In 1909, knowing no English whatsoever, Salzedo emigrated to New York, where he’d been invited by Toscanini to join the Metropolitan Opera orchestra. A few years later, he wrote this piece—a virtuosic showcase for the harp, firmly rooted in the harmonic vocabulary widely employed in France at the time. Salzedo would go on to found the harp department at the Curtis Institute and teach at Juilliard, splitting his time between Europe and the States, and his influences lives on, through his pupils and his compositions. We’ll hear the piece played by harpist Catrin Finch.Next up, another Frenchman enamored of America: Ravel. His Sonata for Violin and Piano, written between 1923 and 1927, displays an interest in the uniquely American art form, jazz, which was all the rage in Paris at the time. Ravel wrote the piece before traveling to the States himself, in 1928, but the middle movement in particular (called “Blues”) was clearly inspired by the American music he’d heard performed in Europe.We’ll hear the sonata played by violinist Benjamin Beilman and pianist Alessio Bax, from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. First, the Salzedo, performed by Catrin Finch.

March 7, 2015. Composer Jennifer Higdon discusses her viola concerto. Speaker Biography: One of America's most popular composers of art music, Jennifer Higdon is on the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, holding the Milton L.

In 2014 she received an honorary doctorate from Bowling Green, which named her one of its 100 most prominent graduates during the university's 2010 centennial commemoration. Higdon entered music as a flutist during her teenage years and she began composing at age twenty-one. She has studied conducting privately with Robert Spano and was a pupil of flutist Judith Bentley at Bowling Green. Robert Spano conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra and violinist Benjamin Beilman in performances of the Violin Concerto in Philadelphia in 2015. Higdon has also composed orchestral solo concertos for oboe, percussion, piano, and soprano saxophone.

Works for violin and piano by Benjamin Beilman, violin and Yekwon Sunwoo, piano and wind quintet by Stephen Taylor, oboe; David Shifrin, clarinet; Peter Kolkay, bassoon; William Purvis, horn; and Gilles Vonsattel, piano.Mozart: Violin Sonata in E-flat MajorMozart: Quintet in E-Flat MajorIt’s a curious thing: today, when there is a piano part in chamber music, we tend to think of it as the “accompaniment” to whatever instrument or voice it is paired with. But that was certainly not the case in Mozart’s time, as we’ll hear in the two pieces on today’s podcast.We start with Mozart’s 19th Sonata for piano and violin, in E-flat major. The sonata was published in 1778, when Mozart was 22, as part of a set of six sonatas.These sonatas were actually rather progressive for their time. In the 18th century, it was the norm for the piano to dominate in settings for keyboard and other instruments—sonatas were for “piano and violin,” not the other way around. But in this set Mozart made an effort to treat the instruments more as equals, giving both players a crack at the main themes. Performing the piece, we’ll hear pianist Yē kwon Sunwoo and violinist Benjamin Beilman.In the second work on the program—Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds—often feels like a miniature concerto, with the piano taking the starring role and the wind instruments providing backup. The recording features Gilles Vonsattel on piano with Stephen Taylor on oboe; David Shifrin on clarinet; Peter Kolkay on bassoon; and William Purvis on the French horn. Mozart himself premiered the piece in 1784 and called it, in an oft-quoted letter to his father Leopold, “the best thing I have written in my life.”Mozart was not alone in finding it an especially fetching piece. About a dozen years later another quintet appeared on the scene in Vienna, scored for the same instruments, by a young admirer: Ludwig van Beethoven. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Songs for violin and piano by Benjamin Beilman and Yekwon Sunwoo.Richard Strauss: Sonata in E-Flat Major, Op. 18Chris Rogerson: Once for Violin and Piano (2011)This week, we turn our attention to two performers, and two composers, whose music-making exhibits a sort of wisdom beyond their years. The recordings are both taken from a recital presented last spring at the museum featuring violinist Benjamin Beilman and his Curtis classmate Yekwon Sunwoo.Both of the pieces we’ll hear were themselves the product of youthful composers’ imaginations. We’ll start with Richard Strauss’s Violin Sonata in E-flat Major. Written when Strauss was just 23-years-old, the piece is widely agreed to have been the work of a young man in the throes of first love; he had recently met the woman who would later become his wife, Pauline.Next, we’ll hear another piece by a 23-year-old: Chris Rogerson’s Once. Rogerson was both a classmate of Beilman’s at Curtis and a fellow member of the Young Concert Artists roster. This piece, as Beilman told audiences at the performance at the Gardner, was conceived during the composer’s residency at the famous MacDowell Colony, an artists’ retreat in New Hampshire.
