Sunday Music Series
|
Chapel Restoration Sunday Music Season Begins April 14th, 4 p.m. Schumann with Pianist Michael Musgrave “What is the composer saying to us?” we often ask. Michael Musgrave, pianist and music scholar, will answer in “The Poet Speaks: An Exploration of Schumann’s Piano Music” at The Chapel Restoration, Sunday, April 14, at 4 p.m. He will briefly explain, employing Schumann’s own commentary, and perform short pieces. The program at the historic Chapel on the Hudson is free to the public. Contributions are suggested and greatly appreciated. Dr. Musgrave’s field of research is 19th and early 20th century German music and English concert life in the same period. His biography of Robert Schumann, Cambridge University Press Musical Lives series, was published in 2011. He is also author and editor of six books on Brahms, including Performing Brahms: Early Evidence of Performance Style(with Bernard D. Sherman, 2003), which won that year’s award for Best Research in Recorded Classical Music from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections. He is a member of the Johannes Brahms Gesamtasugabe, for which he has edited two orchestral serenades, and is currently editing the composer’s German Requiem. On the English side of his scholarship, he is author of The Musical Life of the Crystal Palace (1995) and editor of George Grove, Music and Victorian Culture (2003), centenary assessment of the founder of Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians. A member of the graduate faculty of The Juilliard School, New York City, and Emeritus Professor of Music, University of London, Musgrave is also a Visiting Research Fellow of London’s Royal College of Music, where he studied piano and organ, earning qualifications in music education and performance as well as academic degrees. He received an Honorary Fellowship from the college in 2005. The Chapel Restoration, 45 Market Street in Cold Spring, is across from Metro-North Station, where free parking is available on weekends. This concert is made possible, in part, through Putnam Arts Council’s Arts Link Grant Program, with public funds provided through the New York State Council on the Arts with support from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Legislature. Special thanks for a generous contribution from Marcelline Thomson, board member. |
