February 28, 2014 – New York, NY – Director of 92nd Street Y Tisch Center for the Arts, Hanna Arie-Gaifman, today announced the 2014/15 concert season bringing many of the world’s preeminent classical music artists to its historic concert hall at 92Y on Lexington Avenue and downstairs at SubCulture on Bleecker Street. This season’s explorations include concerts focused on the works of Bach, Brahms and Schubert in both solo recitals and chamber ensemble performances. In many instances, these concerts will be exclusive New York recital appearances. Ms. Arie-Gaifman comments, “This season, more than ever before, is the result of our ongoing creative dialogue with the artists. We have mini-residencies, multiple concerts in which artists have the opportunity to explore the works of a single composer, or perhaps to seek out the links between old and new music. We are committed to providing a space where artists can create adventurous programs that speak to audiences and provide distinctive musical experiences for all.” SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: INTIMATE BRAHMS: JERUSALEM QUARTET & FRIENDS
DISTINGUISHED ARTISTS SERIES Each season 92Y presents recitals by leading artists, giving them a platform to present their artistic personalities and musical curiosity. In addition to Mr. Tetzlaff’s opening night performance of solo Bach, this series features:
The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio – December 13, 2014
“THE SCHUBERT EFFECT”: SHAI WOSNER & Pianist Shai Wosner and the Parker Quartet present two concerts titled “The Schubert Effect” January 28 and February 1. The two programs juxtapose Schubert alongside works inspired by Schubert from Hungarian composer Gyorgy Kurtág and American composer Missy Mazzoli. Mr. Wosner and the Grammy Award-winning Parker Quartet (Daniel Chong, Ying Xue, Jessica Bodner and Kee-Hyun Kim) consider Kurtág to be a great musical influence, as both have had the privilege to work with the composer in varying capacities.
MASTERS OF THE KEYBOARD SERIES
Jonathan Biss – January 24, 2015
Nikolai Lugansky – March 24, 2015
ANDRÁS SCHIFF SELECTS: YOUNG PIANISTS – Presented in partnership with SubCulture 92nd Street Y is committed to presenting young pianists in recital. This year, through “András Schiff Selects,”a unique series curated by Mr. Schiff and co-presented with and at SubCulture, Mr. Schiff has hand-selected three rising star pianists who have already triumphed on stages around the world to make their 92Y recital debut: Kuok-Wai Lio (February 13), Roman Rabinovich (March 2) and Adam Golka (March 16 in his New York recital debut). This series is also presented in Berlin at the Maison de France. Mr. Schiff writes of the series: “Each year three pianists will be invited to perform a programme of their own choice. There will be no competition and no prizes. The concerts will be presented in New York and in Berlin, with additional cities both in Europe and North America. There are many gifted young pianists and we cannot present them all, selection is unavoidable. This will be my responsibility. Needless to say, choices are also a matter of taste…Let’s hope that we can provide a platform for our young musicians.” ART OF THE GUITAR SERIES Now in its fourteenth season, 92nd Street Y’s acclaimed Art of the Guitar series has successfully and uniquely championed the classical guitar repertoire and artists. In 2014/15 the series features performances by The Romeros (Nov 22), Jason Vieaux with harpist Yolanda Kondonassis (Feb 28) and Sérgio & Odair Assad celebrating the duo’s 50th anniversary with special guests, clarinetist Paquito D’Riviera and violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg (May 9). The series also showcases four American guitarists/composers performing their own works March 28: Frederic Hand, David Leisner, joined by flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, Gyan Riley and Andrew York. All concerts are presented in conjunction with 92nd Street Y’s Guitar Institute and are preceded by pre-concert talks with artistic director Benjamin Verdery of Yale University.
Legendary pianist, conductor and pedagogue Leon Fleisher takes part in three intimate conversations exploring his life and career through the lens of the music he loves. Mr. Fleisher will be joined by his son, actor and singer Julian Fleisher, who The Baltimore Sun calls “the human iPod” for his genre-bending musical knowledge. The three Sunday morning conversations (October 26, December 14, February 8) will discuss Brahms, Schubert and contemporary composers, among other subjects.
