Santa Cruz Chamber Players Concert 3
Music of Love, Longing, and Joy - Brahms, Mahler, Dvorak, and Tchaikovsky
Michael Tierra, artistic director and piano
Cynthia Baehr and Rebecca Wishnia, violins; Chad Kaltinger, viola; Judy Roberts, cello; Chetan Tierra, piano
From the depths of Brahms' last works for solo piano, to the youthful yearnings of Mahler at age 15, this program is designed to please and inspire at every level.
This concert features the rare appearance of both Michael Tierra and his celebrated son, Chetan Tierra, as pianists on the same program.
Four pieces for solo piano, Op 119, were the last solo piano pieces written by Brahms, and were premiered just three years before his death.
Mahler composed his only surviving chamber work, Piano Quartet in A Minor, at the tender age of 15. This piece was used as the haunting background music for the 2010 film, Shutter Island.
Tchaikovsky expressed his deep Russian and Slavic origins in his music, of which the Dumka Variations are so representative. His Dumka piano variations Op 59 are subtitled "Scenes from a Russian Village."
Antonin Dvorák's brilliant masterpiece Piano Quintet, Op 8, regarded as one of the masterpieces of the form, will feature local young piano virtuoso Chetan Tierra. Don't miss this extraordinary program!
