UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music – Professor Inna Faliks (Piano Performance and Keyboard Area Head) and Professor Antonio Lysy (Cello Performance and Strings Area Head) perform the second part of their “Romantic Sonatas” series. The first part of Romantic Sonatas debuted on February 14, 2021, with a performance of Chopin’s Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 6. This second part features Rachmaninoff’s Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19. Written in the same period as Rachmaninoff’s iconic second piano concerto, the Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano is quintessentially romantic in the Russian tradition.

This event is made possible by the David and Irmgard Dobrow Fund. Classical music was a passion of the Dobrows, who established a generous endowment at The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music to make programs like this possible. We are proud to celebrate this program as part of the 2020 – 21 Dobrow Series
