Miniature Masterpieces: Recital at PianoForte Studios
Sunday, 20 March 2016, 3:00 PM
Sara Su will collaborate with pianist Tatyana Stepanova on an eclectic program of both popular and rarely performed musical miniatures, ranging from Kreisler and Kabalevsky to Gershwin and Shchedrin—short compositions that convey a wide variety of styles and moods, each telling a unique story. Although these diminutive delights are brief in duration, they demonstrate how composers can create masterpieces on a small scale. Sara Su will offer comments on these pieces from the stage.
This concert is a fundraiser for the Chicago Bar Association Symphony Orchestra, of which Sara Su is concertmaster.
There will be an intermission; the concert will end by 4:15 or 4:30 PM.
