 | Acclaimed pianist Emanuel Ax will kick off this year's season of the Horowitz Piano Series on Oct. 2. |
Two School of Music concert series will sponsor performances this week in Sprague Memorial Hall, 470 College St., which recently reopened after renovations.
A concert by internationally acclaimed pianist Emanuel Ax will kick off the Horowitz Piano Series on Thursday, Oct. 2.
The program will feature works by Rameau, Debussy, Ravel and Chopin.
Ax is as renowned for the breadth of his performing activities as he is for his poetic temperament and virtuosity.
He has appeared with major symphony orchestras worldwide and is a Grammy Award-winning recording artist. His recent releases include the third in a series of Haydn piano sonatas; a two-piano program (with Yefim Bronfman) of works by Rachmaninoff; period-instrument performances of Chopin's complete works for piano and orchestra (on two discs); and the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 with Bernard Haitink and the Boston Symphony.
The Horowitz Piano Series will also feature solo piano recitals by Ruth Laredo (Nov. 5) and School of Music faculty members Boris Berman (Dec. 4), Peter Frankl (Jan. 17), Claude Frank (March 1) and Dean Robert Blocker (March 23). The series will conclude with a "four hands" recital by Berman and Frankl (April 20).
All concerts will take place at 8 p.m.
Season tickets are $45, $65 and $90; $30 for students. Individual tickets to the concerts featuring Ax and Laredo are $10, $15 and $20; $8 for students. Individual tickets to all other concerts are $8, $10 and $15; $5 for students.
The Duke Ellington Fellowship is presenting a special concert featuring the Elvin Jones Jazz Machine at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3.
The group is led by Elvin Jones, considered one of the most innovative drummers in the world of modern jazz. Jones began performing in the late 1940s, and has played with Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Duke Ellington's band, among many other jazz luminaries. He has performed throughout the world and can be heard on 500 recordings.
The other members of the Jazz Machine are Gerald Cannon, bass; Anthony Wonsey, piano; Mark Shim, saxophone; and Delfayo Marsalis, trombone.
Tickets are $20, $30 and $35; $10 for students.
