SUMMARY:Love and War
DESCRIPTION:Guarneri Hall presents the complex world of Sergei Prokofiev through the lens of his nine piano sonatas. From biting modernism to wartime introspection\, this three-part series traces a musical and cultural evolution\, exploring the rarely discussed Russian Avant-Garde of the early twentieth century. \n\n\n\n\nLove and War begins with Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 1\, highlighting an early infatuation with Russian traditions influenced by his training at the St. Petersburg Conservatory under Nikolai Tcherepnin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.  \n\n\n\nProkofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 2 was premiered in Moscow in 1914 with the composer at the piano. He dedicated the work to his friend and fellow student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory\, Maximilian Schmidthof\, who committed suicide in 1913.  \n\n\n\nPiano Sonata No. 6\, the first of Prokofiev’s “War Sonatas\,” closes the evening. Written in 1939\, three years after his return to the Soviet Union\, Prokofiev’s No. 6 is driven by an undercurrent of unease that reflects on uncertainty and violence at the start of the Second World War. \n\n\n\nLove and War is  hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening remarks from Nina Gurianova\, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Slavic Languages at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nSergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 1\, Op. 1Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 2\, Op. 14Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 6\, Op. 82 \n\n\n\nArtists:  Adam Neiman\, piano; Tanya Landau\, host; Nina Gurianova\, guest speaker

SUMMARY:Revolutions 1: 1796
DESCRIPTION:How does change really happen? What is revolutionary change? Are there relationships between political revolution\, social revolution and musical revolution?  \n\n\n\nRevolutions 1 explores these questions through the music and politics of 1796\, in the aftermath of the French Revolution. In fact\, post-revolutionary Paris was also home to a revolutionary time in the development of the bow. Violinist and violin expert Stefan Hersh will explain how changes in bow design led to changes in music that helped to usher in the heightened emotional range of the Romantic era that followed.  \n\n\n\nA program of selected works by Mozart\, Haydn and Beethoven will bring these revolutionary changes to life. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791): Sonata for Violin and Piano in E minor\, K. 304Joseph Haydn (1732-1809): Piano Trio No. 35 in C major\, Hoboken XV:21Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Piano Trio Op.1\, No. 3 \n\n\n\nArtists: Chelsea Wang\, piano; Nathan Meltzer; Alexander Hersh\, cello

SUMMARY:Winterreise
DESCRIPTION:Soprano Chrystal E. Williams returns to Guarneri Hall for Winterreise\, a cycle of 24 songs composed by Schubert in 1827 and set to texts by Wilhelm Müller.  \n\n\n\nIn failing health and nearing the end of his brief life\, Schubert was in a deeply melancholic frame of mind as he composed Winterreise. With an aching beauty and intensity that knows no parallel\, Winterreise depicts grief over lost love\, existential despair and resignation through scenes of winter.  \n\n\n\nZev Kane\, classical program director at WRTI Philadelphia\, joins us to bring the story of Schubert and Winterreise to life. \n\n\n\nArtists: Chrystal E. Williams\, soprano; Zev Kane\, host

SUMMARY:For the Birds: Music of Olivier Messiaen (Mar 29)
DESCRIPTION:The French composer-organist Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was fascinated by birdsong. His field collection of the songs of hundreds of bird species\, meticulously transcribed into musical notation\, would become a vital musical source for Messiaen.  \n\n\n\nFor the Birds explores two of Messiaen’s works most deeply influenced by birdsong: Quartet for the End of Time\, where birds symbolize nature free and unfettered\, and selections from the Catalogue d’oiseaux\, where they evoke rich non-human ecologies within their natural habitats. \n\n\n\nJohn Bates\, Curator of Birds and Section Head of Life Sciences at the Field Museum\, will introduce the program. \n\n\n\nArtists: Daniel Pesca\, piano; Maria Ioudenitch\, violin; Graham Steele Johnson\, clarinet; Alexander Hersh\, cello; John Bates\, guest speaker \n\n\n\nThe program repeats on March 30 at Guarneri Hall.

SUMMARY:Sound Lab (May 4)
DESCRIPTION:Threshold Acoustics—the team of wizards behind the design of Guarneri Hall—have an almost uncanny understanding of how our ears process sound\, and how the shape\, materials\, and finish of every surface in a room can transform what we hear. In a well-designed acoustic space\, every aspect of room geometry\, materials and composition work together to optimize the sound of the room.  \n\n\n\nFor Sound Lab\, Threshold Partner Carl Giegold and Senior Consultant Marcus Mayell will explain the principles of acoustic design that went into the making of Guarneri Hall. Members of NEXUS Chamber Music and their guests will complement the discussion with musical selections that will demonstrate how these forces work to perfection in our space.  \n\n\n\nBy the end\, we hope your ears will be forever opened! \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nHeinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704): Sonata RepresentativaClaude Debussy (1862-1918): Sonata for flute\, viola\, and harp \n\n\n\nAdditional selections TBD \n\n\n\nArtists: Jason Moy\, harpsichord; Brian Hong\, violin and viola; Alexander Hersh\, cello; Lynn Williams\, harp; Sasha Ishov\, flute \n\n\n\nThe program repeats on May 5 at Guarneri Hall.
