Tuesday Matinees: Musicians from Ravinia's Steans Music Institute Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Center Presents Tuesday Matinees: Musicians from Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 2 pm BEETHOVEN Piano Trio in B‐flat Major, Op. 11 RANDS String Quartet No. 2 SCHUBERT String Quintet in C Major, D. 956 With Tessa Lark, violin; Ayane Kozasa, viola; Deborah Pae, cello; Nathan Vickery, cello; and Adam Golka, piano. Featuring violinist Miriam Fried. Musicians from Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute is a chamber ensemble whose members are selected each year from the most promising musicians to attend the Institute’s summer conservatory, which brings together talented young musicians from around the world to make music together under the supervision of an internationally renowned faculty. Recently they have appeared at such prestigious venues as Boston’s Gardner Museum, the Library of Congress, Miami’s Friends of Chamber Music series and New York’s Town Hall, in addition to performances each year on the Ravinia Festival’s Rising Stars series. The ensemble performs with Miriam Fried, who has been recognized for many years as one of the world’s preeminent violinists. A consummate musician – equally accomplished as recitalist, concerto soloist or chamber musician – she has been heralded for her “fiery intensity and emotional depth” (Musical America) as well as for her technical mastery. She has played with virtually every major orchestra in the United States and Europe and has been a frequent guest with the principal orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as with the Israel Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony. Merkin Concert Hall’s Tuesday Matinees series presents some of the brightest young classical stars from around the world in the early stages of what are sure to be long and successful careers. The 2011-12 series concludes on May 1 with the Linden String Quartet.

  • As the New York Times Aptly States, MIRROR VISIONS' “Programs Are
    As the New York Times aptly states, MIRROR VISIONS’ “programs are shaped with an ear to the poetry of song texts.” The initial interest of the ensemble – comprised of soprano Vira Slywotzky, tenor Scott Murphree and baritone Jesse Blumberg – was the back-to-back performance of multiple settings of a single text. Led by Artistic Director and co-founder Tobé Malawista, the ensemble has commissioned more than 80 vocal chamber music works from 18 composers, including Christopher Berg, Tom Cipullo, Richard Lalli, Gilda Lyons, Russell Platt, Richard Pearson Thomas, Francine Trester, Scott Wheeler and Yehudi Wyner. Past seasons include performances at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Hall, Bargemusic, SubCulture, (Le) Poisson Rouge, Lincoln Center’s Library for the Performing Arts, New York University’s Frederick Loewe Theatre, and Bard College’s Longy School of Music, as well as frequent appearances in Paris at the American University of Paris, the American Church in Paris, Musée Carnavalet, Musée Nissim de Camondo and Musée des Arts Décoratifs. This fall soprano VIRA SLYWOTZKY makes her Chelsea Opera debut as the playwright Marla in Henry Mollicone's Emperor Norton. Last season included a return to Seattle Opera, where she sang Magda in The Consul. Slywotzky has performed with Chautauqua Opera, Sarasota Opera, Light Opera of New York, Opera Company of the Highlands, Boston Midsummer Opera, Center for Contemporary Opera and Cape Cod Opera. Favorite roles include Nedda (Pagliacci), Tatyana (Eugene Onegin), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), Komponist (Ariadne auf Naxos), Helena (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), and the title role in Vanessa.
