Celebrating Chopin! (1810-1849) Chopin and His Heroes Bach and Mozart Saturday, August 29, 2009 8 pm Museum of Art Auditorium This program features Preludes of Chopin and Bach, Chopin's stupendous virtuosos Variations on the beloved melody La ci darem la mano from Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, and Chopin's cosmic Sonata No. 2, which includes the most famous Funeral March ever written! Chopin the Storyteller Saturday, November 7, 2009 8 pm Museum of Art Auditorium Epic poems and short stories in tone. What may have inspired Chopin's musical narratives and how does a composer "tell" them without words? Program includes Ballades of Chopin and Novelettes of Robert Schumann. Chopin the Patriot Saturday, April 3, 2010 8 pm Museum of Art Auditorium The Polonaise and the Mazurka - two nationalistic Polish dances - had special meaning for this proud Polish composer. This program includes three Polonaises: the tender G Minor of the eight-year-old genius, the brooding C Minor, and the popular, heroic A Flat, as well as several buoyant and poignant Mazurkas, perhaps Chopin's most personal works. Chopin and the Future Saturday, May 1, 2010 8 pm Museum of Art Auditorium Chopin, one of the most popular composers of all time, is one of the most influential as well. This program includes works by Chopin that both delight the ear and point to the future - Etudes and Nocturnes - as well as music of Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Scriabin, and Szymanowksi.
