Description
Arts & Letters Club of Toronto:
Piano Lunaire has soft-launched a new summer festival in 2024, both in New York and Toronto: pianist/composer Adam Sherkin presents selections from Haydn's 52 sonata catalogue, alongside Haydn-inspired contemporary works for keyboard (including his own!) Join us for this - the finale - at Toronto's Arts & Letters Club at 3pm on Sunday, September 8th, 2024.
With guest artists:
Chantelle Grant, Mezzo Soprano
Ivan Ivanovich, viola
Stephen Runge, piano
TCIKETS: $25 general admission; $20 arts workers; Free for students - Doors open at 2:30pm; performance at 3pm
Included on the third recital of the HIGH SUMMER HAYDN 2024 Festival is the the great C major sonata, Hob. XVI: No. 50 and the D major, No. 51. These pieces assertively display the composer's quintessential innovation and technical mastery. The first movement includes two passages where "open pedal" is indicated: an effect highly unusual for the late Eighteenth Century.
