In celebration of Women’s Month, GetClassical and Ekstasis Duo present Women’s Voices, a program of music that was written by female composers. Positioned in loose chronological order, the program starts with the mid-19th century works by Louise Farrenc and Clara Schumann which are followed by the contemporary classical scores by Judith Taafe Zwilich and Lera Auerbach. A jazzy arrangement for piano and cello by Kaufman as an hommage to Nina Simone tops the night.
A recently formed Ekstasis Duo of musicians, Eliran Avny, piano, and Natasha Farny, cello combine their passion and dexterity for this exciting music night at the Revelation Gallery at St. John’s in the Village Church in New York City. Graduates of the Julliard School of Music, Avni and Farny artistic partnership brings the lesser-known music and the masterpieces to the wider public. The program at the GetClassical recital on March 17, 2020 successfully underscores this mission.

Aspect Chamber Music presents French Impressions concert with Calidore String Quartet, violinist Grace Park, and pianist Gilles Vonsattel on Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 7:30 pm at Bohemian National Hall
Impression, Sunrise, Claude Monet, 1872; Pianist Gilles Vonsattel; Claude Debussy, atelier Nadar; Violinist Grace Park
The program explores the influence of French Impressionism and the interplay between visual art and music. Giving us the world full of tender emotions and breathtaking novelty of expression, the insurgent painters of the period such as Claude Monet and his circle of friends rebelled against the norms of the day in every form of artistic expression from art to writing to music. Unconventional in its methods and resulting artworks, impressionism was a dirty word of that time.
When Debussy started incorporating in his scores unconventional scales and dissonant chords he was labeled by the critics as the proponent of “impressionism, the most dangerous enemy of artistic truth.” However, the composer himself adhered more to symbolism. Regardless of the classification, Debussy’s innovative scores immensely enriched the language of music and encouraged others like his friend E. Chausson to experiment with the sound and form.
The program features performances of Chausson’s Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Quartet, Op. 21 and Debussy’s Violin Sonata in G minor.
