The Mozartean Players
Sunday, April 15 at 3 PM
The Mozartean Players make their Kosciuszko Foundation Chamber Music Series debut on Sunday, April 15 at 3 PM. (15 East 65rth Street, between Fifth / Madison). Their program features period instruments, including pianoforte, and includes works of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Tickets are $30 (KF members $25) and include a full reception with the artists after the concert. Reservations are strongly recommended, and can be made by calling the Foundation Office at 212.734-2130.
The Mozartean Players, founded in 1979, is one of the oldest continuously active early-music organizations in America. It is also one of the most distinguished, as measured by all criteria: critical response, the breadth and volume of its performing history, the influence it has borne on other musicians, and the quality of its recorded legacy.
The group has performed under the auspices of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Metropolitan Museum in New York City (where it offered multi-concert seasons for five years), the Lufthansa Festival of London, the Tage alter Musik Festival of Regensburg, and scores of distinguished series in twenty-five states and other international venues.
The group has performed and recorded early romantic works (Schubert and Mendelssohn) as well as Classical. These performances have served as models for many young artists at home and abroad.
The current configuration of the group as a piano trio is comprised of Steven Lubin, fortepiano, Anca Nicolau, violin, and Myron Lutzke, cello. The group's repertoire spans the era from Haydn through Schumann, the period during which the piano, starting as the delicate, five-octave, wooden-frame instrument of the classical period, changed gradually into the larger, early-romantic piano.. The stringed instruments are accordingly in period disposition.
Program:
Trio in B flat, K.502 - Mozart
Trio in C, Hob. XV:27 - Haydn
Mazurka in A minor, Op.17/4 - Chopin
Trio in E flat, Op.1/1 - Beethoven
All events take place at the Foundation House, unless otherwise noted. Programs subject to change. Click here for directions.
Kosciuszko Foundation programs are supported by the Mary F. Koons Charitable Trust, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), the Tadeusz Solowij Literary Fund, and the KF Cultural Fund.
