Kenneth Grigg, piano, performs a spectacular concert in an intimate setting. Mr. Grigg's unusual style emphasizes fluid virtuosity, beauty and variety of tone, and the aesthetic and emotional response of each listener in his audience.
Saturday, September 28, 2019, 7:45 PM: "Hommages and Liaisons"Links to the past, and to the great art and artists of the past, have always been an essential part of creators. This recital features subtle and profound connections between composers, different historical periods, and widely variant styles of composition (from Debussy's Hommage a Rameau to contemporary composers' settings of great Sondheim songs.)
The first half of the program includes: - a group of Trois Hommages by Paul Dukas, Arthur Honegger, and Claude Debussy
- Edvard Grieg's Suite from Holberg's Time
- Samuel Barber's Nocturne (Homage to John Field) and
- Poul Rovsing-Olsen's Hommage a Chopin
The second half of this program is all selected from Liaisons: Reimagining Sondheim From The Piano. Included are eight songs from Liaisons including: - "Send in the Clowns"
- "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" and
- "No One Is Alone"
