Dear Friends!
This 2024-25 Season, I am thrilled to host 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. This Spring season, inspired by Maurice Ravel’s 150th birthday anniversary, will feature a number of Ravel’s masterworks, including both of his Violin Sonatas, his delightful Mother Goose Suite for piano four-hands, and his epic Piano Trio in A minor. The Season will also include Debussy’s Impressionistic Cello Sonata and Violin Sonata, Faure’s fantastically mercurial Cello Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Poulenc’s witty and sophisticated Violin Sonata, Cello Sonata and Flute Sonata, Saint-Saens’s two majestic Violin Sonatas, his two rhapsodic Cello Sonatas, and both of his Piano Trios, alongside rarely-heard French masterworks, such as Chausson’s celestial Piece in C Major and his impassioned Piano Trio in G minor, and Messaien’s coloristic Fantasie for violin and piano. To learn more about the upcoming Spring 2025 salons, scroll down below.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Warmest wishes,
Dr. Yelena Grinberg, the artistic director and founder of Grinberg Classical Salon Series
