Canzona Chamber Players is pleased to present solo pianist Vadim Serebryany performing Music About Nature, a program which includes Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Tōru Takemitsu, Olivier Messiaen, Maurice Ravel, and Béla Bartók. Serebryany says, “Throughout the pandemic, I found myself re-connecting with the extraordinary power of nature. Similarly to many of my friends, I found myself uninspired to play music, but I decided to study Debussy preludes, particularly the ones that were nature themes, and that is how this program in tribute to nature was inspired.“ |
