Sat., March 27th–INTERSECTION, piano, violin & cello…
The trio includes cellist Kristina Reiko Cooper, violinist Laura Frautschi and pianist John Novacek, each an accomplished soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. “Diamond-hard brilliance, uncommonly poetic depths…” is the way the Los Angeles Times described them. Based in New York City, the trio will perform a varied program of repertoire from all parts of the music world, from Bizet to Bernstein, from Clair de lune to [pianist] Novacek’s Intoxication in a mix of classical, jazz, Latin & Broadway. Mixing trio, duo and solo formats adds to the aural variety. The group’s numerous recordings have been bestsellers in Asia and have topped the classical and crossover charts.
Civic Music folks welcome back cellist Kristina Cooper, who previously performed here with the ever-popular Quartetto Gelato. Maybe you saw see her perform a solo on the Jerry Lewis Telethon last fall.
The Trio will “meet & greet” concertgoers at Titletown Brewing Co. following the concert. Please join us for conversation & complimentary snacks.
Previews…
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, narrated by WPR’s Lori Skelton, will close Civic Music’s 83rd season on Sat., May 15th. Here’s a perfect opportunity to acquaint friends & colleagues with the excitement of CM’s outstanding performances and the incredibly affordable cost of membership. A tradition since 1927, the final concert of the season is a bonus concert for new members. That’s right, a free concert for those who purchase a 2010-11 membership. And, again, no increase in membership prices. The five-concert series is still only $80 adults and $25 students. [Single tickets for the MSO concert can be purchased for $35 for adults and $10 for students.]
