Dear Friends!
This Winter 2025 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 Season will include both beloved masterworks, such as Mozart’s bold and brilliant Violin Sonata No. 23 in D Major, K. 306 (1778), Mendelssohn’s tempestuous Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, op. 49, and Brahms’s darkly passionate Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, op. 101 (1886) as well as rarely-heard masterworks, such as Mozart’s unfinished, two-movement Violin Sonata in A Major, K. 402 (1781-82), inspired by J. S. Bach, Franz Schubert’s sunny Sonatensatz in B-flat Major for piano trio, D. 28 (1813), composed when he was a 16-year-old wunderkind, and Clara Schumann’s ravishingly beautiful 3 Romances for solo piano, op. 21 (1853), dedicated to Johannes Brahms. To learn more about the upcoming Winter 2025 salons, scroll down below.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Warmest wishes for a healthy and happy New Year,
Dr. Yelena Grinberg, the artistic director and founder of Grinberg Classical Salon Series
