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:Freedom and Irony
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\nFreedom and Irony reflects on the years surrounding the Russian Revolution. As Prokofiev prepared to leave Russia in 1918\, the visionary theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold gave him a copy of his journal “The Love for Three Oranges\,” based on Carlo Gozzi’s fantastical play. Prokofiev read it en route to the United States\, drawn to its blend of satire\, absurdity\, and fairy tale. This moment captures the tension between departure and connection. As Prokofiev left his country in turmoil\, he carried with him artistic ties that would continue to shape his compositional style. \n\n\n\nA sense of displacement and evolving identity echo across the evening’s programming. Known as the sonata “From Old Notebooks\,” the youthful volatility of Piano Sonata No. 3 is contrasted with the introspective\, shadowed character of Piano Sonata No. 4\, reflecting a composer grappling with memory\, loss\, and reinvention during exile. Decades later\, the explosive intensity of Piano Sonata No. 7 was forged under the pressures of Stalinist Russia and received the Stalin Prize. \n\n\n\nThe program will be hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening remarks from Dassia N. Posner\, Associate Professor of Theatre and Slavic Languages and Literatures at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nSergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 3\, Op. 28Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 4\, Op. 29Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 7\, Op. 83 \n\n\n\nArtists: Adam Neiman\, piano; Tanya Landau\, host; Dassia N.

SUMMARY:Echo and Image
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\nEcho and Image concludes our series with Prokofiev’s Piano Sonata No. 5\, which stands apart as his only piano sonata composed entirely abroad. Prokofiev wrote No. 5 in 1923\, during his years touring internationally as a pianist and composer before returning to the Soviet Union despite the growing artistic censorship of Stalin’s regime.  \n\n\n\nIn contrast\, the expansive Piano Sonata No. 8 (1944) and the enigmatic Piano Sonata No. 9 (1947)\, both written after his return to the Soviet Union\, reveal a markedly different artistic landscape: more introspective\, complex\, and shaped by the socio-political pressures of life back home. Together\, these three works trace Prokofiev’s life from exile to return\, as his compositional language and identity evolved in his final contributions to the piano sonata genre.  \n\n\n\nThe program will be hosted by Tanya Landau\, PhD candidate in the department of Musicology at Northwestern University with opening remarks from Inna Naroditskaya\, Professor of Musicology at Northwestern University. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nSergei Prokofiev (1891-1953): Piano Sonata No. 5\, Op. 38Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 8\, Op. 84Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Sonata No. 9\, Op. 103 \n\n\n\nArtists: Adam Neiman\, piano; Tanya Landau\, host; Inna Naroditskaya\, 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:Revolutions 2: 1918
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 2 explores these questions through the music and politics of 1918\, in the wake of World War I and the Russian Revolution. As monarchies dissolved and empires transformed\, boundaries that had previously constrained composers gave way and new compositional freedoms burst forth\, as evidenced in works by Ravel\, Stravinsky and Janáček.  \n\n\n\nSocial scientist Andreas Glaser will add perspective to what promises to be a 3-way conversation between scholars\, musicians and the Guarneri Hall audience. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nMaurice Ravel (1875-1937): DuoIgor Stravinsky (1882-1971): L’Histoire du SoldatLeoš Janáček (1854-1928): Quartet No. 1\, “The Kreutzer Sonata” \n\n\n\nArtists: Chelsea Wang\, piano; Nathan Meltzer and Eric Gratz\, violin; TBD\, viola; Alexander Hersh\, cello; Katherine Jimoh\, clarinet

SUMMARY:Winterreise
DESCRIPTION:Walk with us on a winter’s journey through the landscape of sorrow. \n\n\n\nMezzo-soprano Chrystal E. Williams returns to Guarneri Hall as the heartbroken wanderer of Franz Schubert’s poignant song cycle Winterreise\, a soul for whom the world is as bleak and lifeless as the depths of winter. Yet passion still torments\, and anguish surges. Solace is nowhere to be found. With powerful musical imagery\, Schubert portrays the most human of journeys\, one we must all face alone: How do we make it through the worst that can happen\, and begin to sense the warmth that nurtures the seed of hope? \n\n\n\nWith opening remarks by Zev Kane\, classical program director at WRTI Philadelphia. \n\n\n\nArtists: Chrystal E. Williams\, soprano; Natalia Kazaryan\, piano; 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.
