Arnaud Sussmann, David Finckel and Wu Han Celebrate Music of
SARATOGA SPRINGS – On May 13th, SPAC will host a celebration of Beethoven and Dvorak with performances featuring violinist Arnaud Sussmann and Chamber Music Society Artistic Directors David Finckel and Wu Han. The concert will take place at the Spa Little Theatre.
Two of Beethoven’s most vivacious works from his early period preface Dvorak’s sentimental farewell to his beloved Bohemia. His “Dumky” Trio, composed on the eve of his departure for America, consists of six “dumky” (Czech folk ballads) that paint a vivid, personal portrait of the composer’s homeland.
The program is as follows:
| Beethoven | Sonata in F major for Violin and Piano, Op. 24, “Spring” (1800-01) Allegro Adagio molto espressivo Scherzo: Allegro molto Rondo: Allegro ma non troppo |
| Beethoven | Trio in G major for Piano, Violin, and Cello, Op. 1, No. 2 (1791-93, rev. 1794) Adagio–Allegro vivace Largo con espressione Scherzo: Allegro Finale: Presto |
| Dvořák | Trio in E minor for Piano, Violin, and Cello, Op. 90, “Dumky” (1890-91) Lento maestoso–Allegro quasi doppio movimento– Poco adagio–Vivace non troppo Andante–Vivace non troppo Andante moderato (quasi tempo di marcia)–Allegretto scherzando Allegro Lento maestoso–Vivace, quasi doppio movimento |
Arnaud Sussmann has distinguished himself with his unique sound, bravura and profound musicianship. Born in Strasbourg, France, and based now in New York City, Sussmann trained at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Juilliard School with Boris Garlitsky and Itzhak Perlman. Winner of several international competitions, including the Andrea Postacchini of Italy and Vatelot/Rampal of France, he was named a Starling Fellow in 2006, an honor which allowed him to be Mr. Perlman’s teaching assistant for two years. Mr. Sussmann now teaches at Stony Brook University on Long Island and was recently named Co-Artistic Director of [email protected]’s International Music Program.
