 Mihail Jojatu |
Sunday, January 27 Mihail Jojatu, cello (Boston Symphony Orchestra) |
||
| Few would forget Mihail Jojatu's first solo appearance with LiveARTS in 2006 when he performed Johann Sebastian Bach's first three suites for cello. Now Mr. Jojatu returns to present Suites Nos. 4, 5, and 6. This concert promises to be another not-to-be-missed afternoon of Jojatu's exquisite and emotionally-moving interpretations of this pinnacle of cello repertoire. |

 Claremont Trio |
Sunday, March 3 Claremont Trio Emily Bruskin, violin Julia Bruskin, cello Andrea Lam, piano |
||
| Formed in 1999 at The Juilliard School, the Claremont is widely regarded as one of the top piano trios of its generation, having won the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson International Trio Award in 2003. Twin sisters Emily and Julia grew up in Boston and say they always enjoy an opportunity to "come home." The trio made its Jordan Hall debut in 2010 as part of the Celebrity Series of Boston and opened the new concert hall at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in January 2012. This season, the trio welcomes a new pianist, Andrea Lam. Program: trios by Mozart, Brahms, and Gabriela Lena Frank.

| Sunday, April 7 Oni Buchanan, pianist |
 Oni Buchanan |
||
| Boston-area pianist, award-winning poet, and champion of modern women composers, Oni Buchanan returns for the third time to the LiveARTS stage. Her program is entitled "Looking Glass Music: Reflection and Resonance" and gathers together a diverse group of fantastical piano etudes (studies) and other works that explore the instrument’s vast range of sound to reflect the world as well as to pass through the looking glass into strange, yet familiar, realms of resonance and echo. The performance will include selections from the haunting and heart-stopping Rachmaninoff Etudes-Tableaux and Debussy's enchanting and exuberant Douze Etudes Pour Piano. The centerpiece of the program is Cindy Cox's Hierosgamos, which casts a profound commentary on the Rachmaninoff and Debussy pieces -- and beautifully sets up the incomparable Ravel Miroirs suite that concludes the recital. |
