“MUSICAL MOTHERS”

Neglected cello/piano music by women composers

May 10-12, 2019

Check out this Podcast created by Muphen Whitney with Daniel Weiser talking about this wonderful program of women composers:

Join us for this special “Mother’s Day” weekend concert featuring some beautiful, powerful, and sadly neglected music for cello and piano written by French women comp0sers, including Melanie Bonis, Luisa LeBeau, and Cecile Chaminade.  Bonis and LeBeau both wrote intricate, dramatic, and harmonically fascinating Sonatas while Chaminade wrote some of the best Salon music of the 19th century with incredible melodies and long lyrical lines.  This is music that definitely deserves to be heard far more often and this seemed like the perfect weekend to honor these “Musical Mothers.”  Cellist Cecylia Barczyk has performed around the world and has also recorded a CD with all of these pieces.  We hope you can join us for one of the three concerts in the area.

Listen below to the Meditation by Mel Bonis from Ms. Barczyk’s CD:

A new House Concert venue for Classicopia in Lebanon, NH.   Pianist Elizabeth Borowsky, who has performed several times with Classicopia, has just bought this home and has a concert hall ready to be performed in.  As it turns out, Ms. Barczyk is her mother so this seemed like the perfect day for our debut there.  As always, food and drink are included in the House Concerts.   Seating is limited and reservations are required.  Purchase your seats below by clicking on the yellow “Add to Cart” button and you can buy multiple seats on the next screen.   Or you can call Marcia Colligan at 603-643-3337 to reserve seats and send checks made out to Classicopia to 33 Rayton Rd, Hanover, NH 03755
