Dear Friends!

This Summer / Fall 2024 Season, I am thrilled to be hosting the 12th year of the Grinberg Classical Salon Series on New York’s Upper West Side – a one-of-a-kind, intimate salon concerts in revival of the old and elegant European tradition of Hausmusik. The Season will include both beloved masterworks, including Beethoven’s bold and brilliant Piano Trio No. 4 in B-flat Major (“Gassenhauer”), op. 11, Chopin’s dazzling Introduction and Polonaise Brillante for cello and piano, Brahms’s exquisitely lyrical and bucolic Violin Sonata in A Major, op. 101, as well as rarely-heard masterworks, such as Ferruccio Busoni’s dark and dramatic Violin Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Charles-Valentin Alkan’s bracingly virtuosic Sonate de concert for cello and piano, and Arnold Schoenberg’s youthful, lushly amorous, and fully tonal (!) Verklarte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”), op. 4, in the seldom-heard piano trio arrangement by Eduard Steuermann, in tribute to Schoenberg’s 150th birthday this year.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

 

With best wishes for a fun, relaxing, and musically inspiring Summer!
