Composer

Britten’s mysterious and moving Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes powerfully interpret an outcast fisherman’s tragic end amid turbulent seas. Buffalo-born Robert Paterson’s colorful Triple Concerto compellingly examines Earth’s fragility, while Beethoven’s gentle Sixth Symphony portrays a charming countryside turn, evoking deep relaxation and contemtment.

Beethoven’s Pastoral

Kleinhans Music Hall

Amir Farid, winner of the 2006 Australian National Piano Award, is a US born Iranian-Australian who resides in both New York City and Melbourne, Australia. The performance includes Schubert’s Sonata in B-flat Major, D. 960 as well as the US Premiere of Ice Man by Australian composer Stuart Greenbaum, which is a musical representation of the experience of Aussie adventurer James Scott who was stranded in the Himalayan mountains for 43 days and somehow survived.
