Inna premieres a new suite of pieces for piano and historical recordings at the Jewish Music Festival at UCLA. The pieces grew out of Ljova’s 2011 work “Sirota”, written for Inna Faliks, which used a 1908 recording of cantor Gershon Sirota. The expanded suite, titled “Voices” also features a 1912 recording of a Ukrainian clarinettist, and the beautiful voice of Fraydele Oysher! https://www.ljova.com/voices/
Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit, LA premieres by Paola Prestini, Timo Andres, Billy Childs
Music if Mozart and Beethoven
The ESO’s celebration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven will span both this season and our following 75th Diamond Anniversary season. The “Emperor” concerto marked the culmination of Beethoven’s heroic period, and will provide Inna Faliks an ESO sequel to her much praised interpretation of the Beethoven Third Concerto. The program begins with Beethoven’s final overture, a tribute to Handelian pomp and glory, and concludes with Beethoven’s most serene and lyrical symphony, the “Pastoral.”
