FAST BECOMING THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE OF WORLD COMPETITION WINNERS Beloved Works Alongside Rarities... 2014 RUBENSTEIN COMPETITION – TEL AVIV, ISRAEL 2015 CHOPIN COMPETITION – MIAMI, FLORIDA AS I LOOK FORWARD to my third season as artistic director of Portland Piano International, I am gratified by the artistry and camaraderie we have shared. Together, we continue to cross new frontiers and THE NORTHWEST’S P REMIER expand our programs (please see pages PIANO STORE 10-11). I am very grateful for your support. As we shift our recitals to Saturdays and Sundays – both in the afternoon – we intend Arnaldo Cohen Artistic Director to expand our growing circle of music lovers. Please bring your family and friends! This season Portland Piano International offers an astonishing range of repertoire, with 11 completely different recital programs! Through music, we honor solemn anniversaries – 40 years since Shostakovich’s death and one century since the Armenian genocide. We hear beloved works alongside rarities like Janácek’s Sonata and Liszt’s Hexameron (variations on Bellini’s opera The Puritans). We delight in Chopin’s witty response to Mozart’s 12 Variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman as well as Earl Wild’s virtuosic transcriptions of Rachmaninov and Gershwin. Our season ends with the towering talent of Murray Perahia, the eminent American pianist acclaimed throughout the world. In order to meet ticket demand for his rare Portland appearance on April 10, 2016, we present Mr. Perahia in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and urge an early subscription purchase to secure the very best seats (see page 14-15 for details). Our season includes artists from Russia, France, America, Germany and Armenia, four Portland debuts, and music from all over the world and across centuries. Please join the voyage of discovery that is Portland Piano International’s 2015 / 2016 season!

  • Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort
    Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort Liebe Musikfreunde, liebe Konzertbesucher, unsere Konzertreihe im Von-Busch-Hof gibt es nun schon mehr als zehn Jahre. Wir freuen uns über den hohen Bekannt- heitsgrad der Konzertreihe weit über die engere Region hinaus. In jeder Saison ist es uns gelungen, mit erstklassigen Künstlern beeindruckende Konzerte zu veranstalten. Von Anfang an spielte Kammermusik eine wichtige Rolle: Unsere Besucher konnten immer wieder faszinierend schöne klassische Musik erleben. Mit Schuberts “Forellenquintett” und dem Liederzyklus “Die Winterreise” erklingen in dieser Saison zwei der bekanntesten Werke der klassischen Musik. Aber auch für das Amüsement in der Neujahrsgala beim Hören und Wiedererkennen von beliebten Schlagern und von brillant gespielter Filmmusik des letzten Jahrhunderts schwärmen viele. Das fabelhafte Schellack-Orchester mit seinen Solisten entfes- selt dabei jedesmal Beifallsstürme. Interessante Kinderkonzerte, eines im November, das andere im Februar, fehlen auch in dieser Saison natürlich nicht. Ganz sicher werden Joseph Moog am Klavier und das Busch- Hof Consort im abschließenden Open Air Konzert der Saison mit der Darbietung von drei Klavierkonzerten einen triumpha- len Schlusspunkt setzen. Die gute Akustik im Saal und im Innenhof, dazu das stilvolle und behagliche Ambiente des Von-Busch-Hofs wird von vielen Besuchern gerühmt und ist eine angenehme und erfreuliche Beigabe zu den Konzerten. Künstler, die bei uns auftreten, sind immer wieder angetan von dem charmanten Veranstaltungsort, aber in demselben Maße auch von dem interessierten und aufmerksamen Publikum. Wir sind stolz auf das Erreichte. Unser Bestreben ist, auch in Zukunft unsere Zuhörerschaft mit einem anspruchsvollen Programm zu begeistern. Wir wünschen Ihnen schöne und erquickliche Stunden im Von-Busch-Hof.

Like no other language, music brings people, cultures and generations together. It is understood across all national borders. Its inexhaustible power, beauty and purity give me the inner strength to stand up for cultural identity, friendship and peace. Which is why it is a great honour for me to act as the cultural patron of the International Piano Forum, which awards the International German Piano Award every year. The International Piano Forum promotes brilliant piano talents worldwide with great dedication and supports them in making an international stage career – a challenge I am pleased to accompany. Through the connection between the Tchaikovsky Competition and the International German Piano Award, even more musical bridges will be built between the two countries. The secret of music lies in always making it sound alive, allowing everyone to feel the warmth and life hidden within it and creating from it an emotional story.

Abstract Aram Khachaturian, a Soviet-era Armenian composer, wrote his Piano Concerto in D♭ major in 1936. He was born in Tbilisi, Georgia to an Armenian family and moved to Moscow for his musical training at the age of nineteen. As a child, he was exposed to Eastern music of the Transcaucasus, which remained a lasting influence in his music. He created a unique musical sound that includes Eastern and Western elements. Khachaturian’s music achieved success early in his career. The Piano Concerto, written during his time as a post-graduate student under Myaskovsky, remains one of his best- known works.
