Introspective and moody, the music of the Russian composers projects the warmth and emotional depth which are precious gifts for chamber music lovers. This Holiday season three brilliant musicians, violinist Misha Keylin, cellist Zlatomir Fung, and pianist Pavel Nersessian, are teaming up for an elegiac program of music by Lyadov, Glinka, and Tchaikovsky.

Veteran BBC radio host and musicologist Stephen Johnson leads an illustrated lecture on the three Russian composers on the bill, exploring the theme of the Russian elegy. Johnson is a writer, broadcaster and lecturer on music.

Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), influenced by the rich folk tradition and orthodox church chants in the Russian province which he heard in childhood, is considered to be the grandfather of Russian classical music. Better known for the distinctly Russian operas, his oeuvre includes expressive chamber music written yearly in his career. Glinka’s work had inspired a plethora of Russian composers including Tchaikovsky and Lyadov.

Treat yourself for an evening of exceptional music played by the amazing young musicians.

The Aspect Foundation’s April event will be an aspiring night of Beethoven’s music and an illuminating lecture by Ignat Solzhenitsyn about the relationship between the composer with his talented student and patron Archduke Rudolph. Ignat Solzhenitsyn, an acclaimed Russian-American pianist, and conductor, is joined by violinist Korbinian Altenberger and cellist Na-Young Baek for an all Beethoven program of “Archduke” Piano Trio in B-flat major, Op. 97 and the Violin Sonata No.10 in G major, Op.96.

The youngest son of Emperor Leopold II, Rudolph, destined by the canons of the early 19th century to lead the clergy, was appointed Archbishop of Olomouc and Cardinal in 1819. From 1803 Rudolph began taking piano and composition lessons from Beethoven. They became friends and continued their relationship until the end of their lives. Beethoven dedicated 14 of his compositions to his friend including the Archduke Piano Trio.

The superb program, top-notch musicians, and an engaging atmosphere created by the Aspect Foundation will surely make it a night to remember.
