Pianist

Our 51st season begins with a thrilling program that spotlights the genius of three masters. Ligeti’s enchanting Six Bagatelles is a playful excursion through the wide range of delights only a wind quintet can offer, and Beethoven’s landmark Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 69, revels in the virtuosic demands placed on both the piano and cello, played here by Zoltán Fejérvári and, in his Festival debut, Narek Hakhnazaryan, whose performances the San Francisco Chronicle hailed as “nothing short of magnificent.” The program comes to a spectacular close with Mendelssohn’s superlative D Minor Piano Trio, which Schumann called “the master trio of our time.”

Beethoven, Ligeti & Mendelssohn

New Mexico Museum of Art

Award-winning pianist Zoltán Fejérvári—praised for the “gripping power” of his performances by Gramophone— plays a rich recital program that features a varied collection of short works by Ligeti, Schumann, and Bartók as well as Brahms’s first published work: the highly virtuosic and symphonic Sonata in C Major. 

Zoltán Fejérvári Piano Recital

This program spans three eras of classical music: the Romantic, the avant-garde, and the contemporary. Anthony Manzo, solo bassist of San Francisco’s New Century Chamber Orchestra, makes his Festival debut in Dvořák’s sonorous and sunny String Quintet in G Major, and violinist Yura Lee and pianist Zoltán Fejérvári present a riveting dialogue of rhythmic complexity in Bartók’s vibrant Sonata No. 1. Dutilleux’s Les Citations weaves a rich tapestry of sound with its unusual instrumentation of harpsichord, oboe, bass, and percussion.
