VCU Rennolds concerts 2013-14


Menahem Pressler, the longtime pianist of the former Beaux Arts Trio, will mark his 90th year, and the American String Quartet its 40th anniversary, in performances in Virginia Commonwealth University’s Rennolds Chamber Concerts in the coming season.

The 2013-14 Rennolds roster also includes recitals by cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Joyce Yang, a trio performance by violinist Pamela Frank, violist Nobuku Imai and cellist Clemens Hagen, and a performance by the Escher String Quartet with classical guitarist Jason Vieaux.

Pressler’s 90th-anniversary tour features the pianist performing with the New York Chamber Soloists, a 12-member ensemble of strings and winds. The American String Quartet will be joined by the brothers Roberto Díaz, a violist and president of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, and Andres Díaz, a cellist.

All concerts will begin at 8 p.m. in Vlahcevic Concert Hall of VCU’s Singleton Arts Center, Park Avenue at Harrison Street in Richmond’s Fan District.

Subscriptions for the six-concert series are $135, or $90 for three concerts, with valet parking included. Adult single-ticket prices are $34 per concert. Discounts are available for seniors (60 and older) and VCU employees.

Sparr's 'Ali' premiered


D.J. Sparr, the Richmond-based composer and guitarist, introduced his one-act opera, “Approaching Ali,” over the weekend in Washington National Opera’s American Opera Initiative. The opera, with a libretto by Mark Campbell and Davis Miller, is based on Miller’s memoir “Tao of Muhammed Ali.”

Sparr, a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and University of Michigan, was composer in residence with the Richmond Symphony’s Education and Community Engagement Department (2009-11) and currently is Young American Composer in Residence with the California Symphony.

The Washington Post’s Anne Midgette writes about Sparr, “Approaching Ali” and WNO’s American Opera Initiative:
