Le Salon de Musiques, June – “Russian and Czech Masters” – Los Angeles musical concert review

Le Salon banner

This season’s final concert features an exquisite Russian and Czech Masters program, with works by Mikhail Glinka, Mikhail Gnesin, Iosif Andriasov, and one Czech Composer, Vitezslav Novak. The program includes two US Premieres and will be performed by five world-renowned artists: Jessica Guideri and Serena McKinney, on violins; Rob Brophy, on viola; Eric Byers, cello and Robert Thies, piano.

The ‘Slavic Nostalgia’ concert will be followed by a Q & A between the audience and the artists, with a reception featuring French Champagne and a Gourmet Buffet catered by Patina.

Directed by Concert Pianist and Founding Artistic Director François Chouchan, with co-Artistic Director Cellist John Walz, the Sunday June 7th performance features four neo-romantic pieces of the Russian-Czech Repertoire:

–    M. GNESIN “Requiem Op 11” for two Violins, Viola, Cello and Piano, a US Premiere
–    M. GLINKA: Sonata for Viola & Piano in D minor,
–    L. ANDRIASOV: String Quartet Op 1 in D Major,
–    V. NOVAK: Piano Quintet in A minor Op 12, a US Premiere

Says Chouchan, “This Fifth Season was such a magical one, between the exceptional diversity and quality of the pieces performed, (almost unknown or forgotten…), and the highest level of our artists invited to perform this season. I am thrilled to end this season with these new exquisite moments.”
