The Tel Aviv Wind Quintet and pianist Alon Goldstein join for a concert at Zucker Hall to mark Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday. Alongside two of his masterpieces the Quintet will play gems from the wind repertoire by Barber, Bernstein and Françaix. The program also includes Berio’s witty “Opus Number Zoo” in a special staged version.
Program:
Beethoven: Piano quintet in Eb major, Op. 16
Berio: “Opus Number Zoo”, Staged version directed by Ari Teperberg
Bernstein: Overture from the opera “Candide” (arranged by D. Stewart)
Barber: “Summer Music”
Beethoven: Sonata for piano no. 14, Op. 27 no. 2 “Moonlight”
Françaix: “L’heure du berger”
Alon Goldstein is one of the most original and sensitive pianists of his generation, admired for his musical intelligence, dynamic personality, artistic vision and innovative programming. The Tel Aviv Wind Quintet will collaborate with him for the first time. Together they will perform Beethoven’s youthful quintet op. 16, along with Jean Francaix’s humoristic sextet. Mr. Goldstein will also perform one of Beethoven’s favorite masterpieces – his “Moonlight” piano sonata.
Other pieces on the program are Bernstein’s well known ‘Candide’ overture and Samuel Barber’s brilliant ‘Summer Music’, which became one of the quintet’s beloved masterpieces. Luciano Berio’s witty “Opus Number Zoo” will reveal a different side of the ensemble, we will dance, act and show a lot of emotion on stage in this beautiful masterpiece.
