“A Schubertiade: Out of the Shadow of Beethoven”
Although Franz Schubert's untimely death at the age of 31 robbed him of the chance to establish the sort of public following among the Viennese enjoyed by his idol Ludwig van Beethoven, his music was lovingly received by a circle of admiring friends and colleagues in intimate home gatherings known as “Schubertiades.” Pianist Adam Kent will recreate one of these house concerts, featuring several of Schubert’s beloved Impromptus and Moments musicaux along with his masterful Sonata in Bb Major, Op. Posth., his final work.
The program will also offer soprano Kim Force, accompanied by Adam Kent, singing one of Schubert's lyric works. Tycho Force will be on hand as young Schubert being visited by the ghost of his idol, Beethoven - played by Christian Force.
Music Director at CUUC since 1990, pianist Adam Kent performs and lectures on four continents and is an Associate Professor of Music at SUNY Oneonta. He has won numerous awards and prizes and has been featured on WQXR, WNYC, WFUV, WVOX and Sirius Radio stations. Recent projects include a recording of Cuban-American Composer Tania León’s complete piano works and a documentary on the Spanish composer Federico Mompou.
