Hommage à Fauré

The preeminent pianist and esteemed teacher, Robert McDonald, will join Sally Guenther (cello) and Ruxandra Marquardt (violin) in a tribute to Gabriel Fauré.  Also included will be the Sonatina for violin and cello by Fauré’s student, Arthur Honneger, as well as solo performances by Robert McDonald.

This program presents a logical progression from Romanticism to Fauré and his link to the beginnings of the modern era.  Fauré, perhaps one of the most influential French composers, studied as a youth with Camille Saint-Saëns and together they cofounded the Société Nationale de Musique (1871) to promote new French music.  This program honors not only Fauré but reminds us of the admiration and gratitude due to those that dedicate their lives to teaching others and forging new paths.

Doors at 5:10pm.
