About the Event
As usual, each piece will be ingrained into the overarching theme of the program.
Rubina Mazurka and Dwight Okamura will perform Rubina's original arrangements of two mid-17th-century arias, Strozzi's "Che si può fare" with a modern chordal realization and anonymous "Aria di Chiesa" in an arrangement for piano, violin, and voice. In addition, they will perform a contemporary piece by Devin Farney, "Short-Sighted Serenade".
The rest of the program will consist of selections from your favorite composers: Beethoven, Granados, Tárrega, Mozart, Offenbach, Verdelot, Cilea, and Verdi.
The performance will feature:
Jennifer Park, mezzo-soprano
Allie Mangel, violin
