Full program notes

PROGRAM:
Beach - Romance, Op.23
Paganini - Variations on a theme from "Moses in Egypt"
Alejandro - Danza para Piano No. 1
Rachmaninoff - Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 19

This program centers around one of the most lyrical and symphonic works ever written for cello and piano: Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata. Composed around the same time as his Second Piano Concerto, it’s filled with the sweeping melodies and rich, opulent textures that define his style.
As a kind of musical hors d’oeuvre to set the atmosphere, we'll begin with works that may not be as brooding or melancholic as Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata, but are no less passionate, intimate, and expressive.
