Musicians Emergency Fund (MEF) Presents Franz Liszt: Holy and Infernal Genius, with Pianists Adam Golka and Orion Weiss, Mezzo-Soprano Lauren Eberwein
MUSICIANS EMERGENCY FUND (MEF) PRESENTS
FRANZ LISZT: HOLY AND INFERNAL GENIUS, WITH PIANISTS ADAM GOLKA AND ORION WEISS, MEZZO-SOPRANO LAUREN EBERWEIN, AT ALICE TULLY HALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 2017, AT 3:00 P.M.
This spring’s Junior/Senior Concert by Musicians Emergency Fund (MEF) will be a tribute to Franz Liszt in all his controversial diversity as showman, teacher, musical thinker and forward-looking visionary. One of the superstar pianists of his era, Liszt was compared to violinist Niccolò Paganini as seeming to be in league with the devil. Yet he parlayed his fame into a golden opportunity to instruct, support and inspire an oncoming generation of fellow artists. Nowadays he is judged a pioneer in the growth of modern music.
Both pianists who conceived of this spring’s Liszt concert are alumni of earlier events sponsored by MEF- Adam Golka in a March 2015 solo recital, Orion Weiss in an October 2016 program of rarely heard chamber music. On April 30 this year, in Liszt’s honor, they will perform solo works as well as the composer’s Réminiscences de Don Juan for two pianos. To represent Liszt’s still largely unfamiliar song repertory, the pianists are joined by gifted young mezzo-soprano Lauren Eberwein. Born in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, Ms. Eberwein is a Curtis Institute graduate who recently joined the Canadian Opera Company’s Ensemble Studio, with which she tours this spring. Tickets: $25; no charge for seniors, students, and military personnel- show valid ID at the Alice Tully Hall Box Office on the day of the performance, while supply lasts. Box office opens at noon. For tickets by phone, call (212) 721-6500. For more information, visit www.lincolncenter.org. Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center: 1941 Broadway (65th Street between Broadway & Amsterdam Avenue), New York, NY 10023.
