Embark on a musical adventure through myth, legend, and fantasy! Nadia Francavilla and Julien Leblanc present George Enescu’s sweeping and majestic Sonata No. 2 in F minor for violin and piano; complementing this well-loved and romantic work, two short pieces by Czech composer Vítězslava Kaprálová. Rounding out the program, Karol Szymanowski’s Mythes depicts ancient Greek tales of river gods and forest nymphs, while Mel Bonis’ Femmes de légende transmits, via the medium of solo piano, the stories of women whose fates have become legendary.
Join us for this mythical journey on March 13, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. in the beautiful Memorial Hall, at 9 Bailey Ave. Tickets are $30 regular, or $15 for students.
MusicUNB invites you to join us for a captivating and thought-provoking performance.
The French women composers featured in this concert worked in the Impressionist tradition of Debussy and Ravel. In a time when music by women composers was rarely performed, these trailblazers defied expectations, making their living from their art. But despite their prolific output–more than 300 pieces performed throughout the early 20th century–history has seen their contributions eclipsed by those of their male counterparts.
February 14, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall. Tickets $30 regular / $15 students.
