Kaufman Music Center
Hailed as a "first rate Mozartean" by the Chicago Tribune, Orli Shaham performs the first of a pair of recitals exploring the deep musical connections between her favorite Mozart piano sonatas and other beloved works for the keyboard. In this program, Ms. Shaham reveals the connections between Mozart's intense Sonata No. 14 in C minor and Beethoven's moving "Pathétique," which shows the influence of that particular Mozart work.

The multi-talented young pianist presents an electrifying recital with Beethoven's Tempest Sonata at its center, surrounded by compositions of Ruth Crawford Seeger, Tania Leon, Felipe Lara, David Lang and Tao himself. The concert will be preceded by a Zoom reception with the artist at 7:15 pm Eastern time.
Friday, November 13 (8 pm) - Thomas Kotcheff, piano: Rzewski's Songs of Insurrection
To celebrate the release of the premiere recording of Frederic Rzewski's Songs of Insurrection, based on seven protest songs from around the world, rising LA-based pianist Kotcheff performs three movements from the virtuosic 75-minute, plus an excerpt from Rzewski's Four Hands with the piano duo HOCKET, and a newly commissioned piece by composer Jordan Nelson. Mark Swed of the LA Times described Kotcheff's rendition of Songs of Insurrection as "dazzling." You can stream the album here.
Tuesday, November 17 (8 pm) - Sarah Rothenberg, piano: Feldman's Palais de Mare
DACAMERA
With a concert grand dramatically installed in the Menil Collection's ancient art galleries, Sarah Rothenberg performs in a filmic treatment of Feldman's last piano work, Palais de Mari (1986). She will be surrounded by objects from the same area and era as the ruined palace of 2400 B.C.E. that inspired Feldman's composition. Wrote The Guardian, "Feldman builds an intensely rarefied patchwork of sound...whose patterns of repetition transform the smallest change of emphasis into a gesture of seismic significance." Followed by a discussion with Rothenberg and Menil Collection Curator Paul Davis, moderated by Joseph Newland, the Menil's Director of Publications.

Stated The New York Times, "Coming to the Philharmonic after a decade as a principal with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Mr. McGill played with his trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character.

The concert will be preceded by a Zoom reception with the artist at 7:15 pm Eastern time.
