Four-in-a-Hand, piano four hands ensemble
Sunday June 14, 2015 - 3 pm
Pianists Marketa Ornova and Jialiang Zhu will perform a concert titled "Music in the Parlour,” which explores the ways in which music was performed in the home. Far from the concert stage, it was at the piano sitting in the family's parlour where music was most often made. The piano duet – two performers sharing one piano – was a favourite way to share music together. This project explores the ways in which piano duets were often written for women, and by women. The program includes works by Mozart, Robert and Clara Schumann, as well as a performance of Canadian composer Anne Southam's Four in Hand, after which the ensemble is named.
Programme:
Sonata in C Major, K.521 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
Bilder aus Osten, Op.66 (selections) (Robert Schumann)
Marsch in E flat Major (Clara Schumann)
Four in Hand (1981) (Ann Southam)
