Ronée
Boyce, Artistic Director of the Toronto concert series Neapolitan
Connection, sends this announcement:
The
Neapolitan Connection Concert Series kicks off 2012-2013 classical
concert season with Brahms & Schumann Masterworks / Violinist
Kelly Hall-Tompkins, New York Chamber Orchestra Concertmaster makes
Toronto Debut with Neapolitan Connection
Toronto,
Canada. - On
Saturday, October 6th, The
Neapolitan Connection Concert Series
will launch their brand new 2012-2013 classical concert season with
Brahms,
Schumann & Song,
a landmark concert production dedicated entirely to music
of the Romantic Music giants Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann.
Among
other classical artists, this special concert production features New
York Chamber Orchestra
concertmaster, Violinist Kelly
Hall-Tompkins.
Kelly Hall-Tompkins is one of New York City’s most in-demand
violinists who has given performances around the world, and makes her
Canadian debut with Neapolitan
Connection.
Regarding coming to Toronto and the Brahms/Schumann concert, Kelly
Hall-Tompkins had this to say:
"I
always enjoy performing with great new artists, so I'm very much
looking forward to performing on The
Neapolitan
Connection Concert Series.
Plus I'm excited to perform not only in Canada, but for the first
time as a guest artist in the vibrant, diverse, culturally rich city
of Toronto. Brahms is my favorite composer for chamber music, so
playing this program will be pure joy."
Also
featured in this special concert production are the Mercer-Park duo -
pianist Angela
Park and
cellist Rachel
Mercer.
These acclaimed chamber musicians will collaborate with Kelly
Hall-Tompkins for the Brahms
Piano Trio in B major
in this dynamic performance.
On
the vocal spectrum, New York-based Soprano Katherine
Whyte,
returns to the Toronto stage for this performance, after playing the
role of “Isis”
in Canadian
Opera Company’s
May 2012 production of Semele.
To round out the entire event, 13-year old precocious Toronto pianist
Anastasia
Rizikov
also makes a special appearance. Rizikov was
featured
on Classical
96.3FM
radio earlier in June 2012 in a live solo performance, where she
captured the hearts of many listeners.
The
chosen concert repertoire pays certain tribute to Brahms and Schumann
with performances of Brahms’ exciting Violin
Sonata
no. 3 in D minor, the whimsical
Capriccio
in B minor for piano and
also a lesser-performed gem, the
2 Gesange Op. 91.
On the Schumann spectrum, Katherine Whyte will present nothing less
to the audience than a complete performance of the Liederkreis
songs Op. 39.
Leading
up to the performance, selections from Kelly Hall-Tompkins' new CD
release, "In
My Own Voice",
can be heard live on Toronto's Classical
96.3FM radio station.. On
Thursday
Oct 4 at 1:20pm,
Kelly and these other marvelous performing artists will also be heard
and interviewed live on the air at Classical
96.3FM radio station.
