Unique and intimate Brooklyn hangout spot for the classical music connoisseurs, Bargemusic is presenting a rising star Asiya Korepanova with a solo recital in the Masterworks Series program of Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, and Poulenc. Originally conceived as the “3B with a twist” concert program, the evening promises to offer the depth of interpretation which will be appreciated by both the consummate piano fans and those in search of new experiences.
Bargemusic’s nonpareil location on a floating barge at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge will color your night with the unforgettable lower Manhattan skyline, shimmering lights reflected in the East River and the gentle sound of waves. The concert runs without the intermission and seats are limited so book ahead.
Eagerly anticipated by classical music fans, the recitals and concert performances by Marc-Andre Hamelin are always a delight for the audience. Well-known for his impeccable technique and sensible interpretation of works by the composers of a romantic period, Hamelin’s programs combine the scores by well-established composers and those that are familiar mainly to consummate connoisseurs of piano music. This mix of familiar and new names in the program makes each and every appearance of Hamelin an event full of excitement and discovery. Reward yourself with an evening of great music in an elegant setting of Venetian Theater at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, NY.

Marc-Andre Hamelin returns to Carnegie Hall this Fall with an exciting and evocative program of Liszt, Feinberg, Debussy and Godowsky. The recital on November 1, 2017 at Carnegie Hall Stern Auditorium will feature the compositions by the well-known and lesser so yet equally formidable composers. That music has to be brought to the wide public and Hamelin is in the best position for the task.
By now the music fans are already expecting an exploration of the treasure trove of half-forgotten compositions at Hamelin’s performances. As a WBUR.org review notes “he unearths, polishesand returns forgotten talent to prominence”. And the program on November 1 will not disappoint. Knowing the musician’s sensible touch and technical virtuosity, the music will surprise and delight at the same time.

Marc-Andre Hamelin whose fame grows with each performance, is not only a brilliant pianist, but is a well-known composer. It’s extremely fascinating to hear music by the composer himself, which Mr. Hamelin sometimes includes in the encores at his concerts. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune the musician shared his believe that composing brings one closer to understanding how “each composer translated his thoughts into that notation”.
His appearance at Carnegie Hall last year at the Two Pianos concert with Leif Ove Andsnes was given rave reviews. With the NewYorkPass your can enjoy a free tour of the historic Carnegie Hall and much more.
