Students Ages 9–17 Perform Alongside MusicTalks Chamber Orchestra After Week-long Coaching
Thursday, August 8 at 5PM and 7PM at The Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan
New York, New York (July, 29, 2024): MusicTalks, a non-profit organization that brings together audiences and artists through intimate, educational, and interactive programming, proudly presents its annual Cello Course recital Thursday, August 8, at 5PM at The Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan.
Led by Artistic Director Elad Kabilio, the concert showcases young string players between the age of 9 and 17, alongside professional musicians who will have spent the previous week coaching the repertoire and refining the student’s technique and artistry. Over the course of a week-long, students take daily one-on-one lessons, study music history and theory, rehearse chamber repertoire, and coach with some of the most prominent classical music teachers in New York City.
The program features performances of chamber music masterpieces, including Schubert's String Quintet in C major and Rossini Sonata No. 2 for Strings and Duetto for Cello and Bass. Additionally, the ensemble will be presenting a seldom-performed work by Josima Feldschuh, a young Jewish female composer who perished in the Holocaust when she was 13 years old.
Solos, to be performed by Cello Festival Students and Guest Artists, include Saint Saens, Shostakovich, Boccherini, Vivaldi Cello concertos, Fauré’s Elegie, and Saint-Saëns’ Allegro Appassionato for Cello and Orchestra.
“The cello festival is an especially meaningful part of the work we do at MusicTalks for me.” Said Artistic Director, Elad Kabilo. “It is an honor to provide young artists with the opportunity to perform a solo with an orchestra, often for the first time, in a kind, supportive, and caring environment that allows their talent to shine. The Schubert, in particular, is such an important staple of the chamber music repertoire, so it is an important step for these young artists to be able to work on and perform the piece with professionals.”
MusicTalks’ Cello Festival is generously supported by the Frederick Loewe foundation and the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan
