tribute to Gabriel Fauré
Wednesday, 7:30 pm
The Kosciuszko Foundation: 15 E 65th St, NYC
November 4, 2024 marks 100 years since the death of French composer, Gabriel Fauré. The Bohemians have a long tradition of honoring specific composers through special concerts, and this season we are delighted to highlight various genres of Fauré's works.
Solo piano will include three préludes from his late works, op. 103 and one of his most-loved nocturnes, no. 6 in D-flat Major.
Piano four-hands will include the playful Dolly Suite - composed for the daughter of Fauré's mistress, Emma Bardac.
The program will conclude with the epic Violin Sonata No. 1 and a group of songs, including Prison, Adieu, Mandoline, Tristesse, Au Bord De L'eau, and Chanson d'amour .
