Lisa performs with violinist Peter Exton at the Lyceum Club in Melbourne
“From Beethoven to Bresnick, from NYC to Ridgway Place”
New York pianist Lisa Moore and Melbourne violinist Peter Exton present a duo program to charm and inspire. Anchored in Beethoven’s beguiling Spring Sonata and moving to the poignant and emotionally charged world of Janacek’s Sonata for Violin and Piano, the concert celebrates the internationally acclaimed composer Martin Bresnick’s Bird as Prophet. This exquisite late 20th Century reflection on Robert Schumann’s haunting evocation of birdsong and flight will be enhanced by the presence of Martin, who will speak about the origins and meanings of this captivating work, looping together music across the centuries. Bela Bartok’s soulful Roumanian Dances will complete this exquisite journey in a grand finale.
