Greetings, Chamber Music Aficionados
Highlights and Hidden Gems
Select Live-Audience & Streamed Concerts
for Chamber Music Aficionados
Here, I give some concerts I’ve watched or would like to watch or attend. I promise not to overwhelm you
with too many. Mostly local.
“ . . . live-streamed events have generated moments of startling power. . . . One could instead sample
archived professional-quality videos that opera houses, orchestras, and other organizations have placed
online. For me, though, the live or freshly recorded happenings matter more. They document, with the
oblique power that the arts possess, an extraordinary human phase in history. Their mere existence is
bracing. . . .” ~ Alex Ross, The New Yorker

1. Reprise of Classical Crossroads’ March 2024
“First Fridays at First! ~ fff” Concert
From Belgium
De Maeyer-Kende Duo
Jolente De Maeyer violin and Nikolaas Kende piano
Recorded at & livestreamed from
First Lutheran Church and School in Torrance CA
on Friday, April 5, 2024 at 12:15PM
Stream from Classical Crossroads’ Vimeo Showcase for one month by clicking:

The Program
Arvo Pärt (b.1935): Fratres
The Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is often dubbed a “holy minimalist” due to his large output of sparely
scored and contemplative choral works. But he has also written much orchestral and instrumental music.
Fratres, a repeating set of three-voiced chord sequences with percussive interjections, has no specified
instrumentation and thus exists in many combinations. The violin/piano version we will hear dates from
1980.
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827):
Violin Sonata No.9 in A Major, Op.47, “Kreutzer”
I. Adagio sostenuto - Presto
II. Andante con variazioni
III. Presto
Beethoven’s penultimate “Sonata for Piano and Violin” is his longest and by far most dramatic — one of
the prime fruits of his “second period” when he expanded the scale and expressive scope of many genres.
After falling out with his companion, noted Black violinist George Bridgetower, who premiered the sonata
in 1805, Beethoven re-dedicated it to the virtuoso Rodolphe Kreutzer, who never played it. The outer
movements are both sonata designs, the first expansively laid out after a slow introduction, and the finale
a furious tarantella. Between them comes a movement of five highly contrasted and extensive variations
on a long and gently contemplative melody.
The Artists
One of Belgium’s leading violinists, Jolente De Maeyer has brought her virtuosity and passionate
interpretations to diverse global audiences. She is recognized as an exceptionally gifted artist, reflected in
the numerous awards and effusive reviews she has received for both her live performances and
recordings. After an invitation from Yehudi Menuhin when she was 14 years old, Jolente studied at the
Yehudi Menuhin School near London. She continued her studies in London, Berlin, and Waterloo, where
she graduated in the class of Augustin Dumay in 2013. Since 2018, Jolente has been Professor of Violin
at the Conservatory of Tilburg, the Netherlands. Read about Jolente De Maeyer by clicking:
https://www.jolentedemaeyer.com/
Pianist Nikolaas Kende has been praised for his poetic playing and passionate musicality. A winner of
several competitions, Nikolaas regularly performs in leading halls in Belgium and the Netherlands,
including performances of the Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, and Bartók concertos with the
Brussels Philharmonic, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and also with the National Radio Orchestra
Romania. Nikolaas studied in Antwerp with his parents, in Amsterdam with Jan Wijn, in Munich and
Fiesole with Elisso Virsaladze, and with such noted artists as Murray Perahia, and Radu Lupu. In 2015,
Nikolaas was appointed Professor of Piano at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Read about Nikolaas

2. Reprise of Classical Crossroads’ March 2024
“Second Sundays at Two” Concert
The Gregory-Kaplan Duo
Catherine Gregory flute and David Kaplan piano
Recorded at & livestreamed from
Rolling Hills United Methodist Church
in Rolling Hills Estates CA
on Sunday, April 14, 2024 at 2:00PM

The Program
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963):
Sonata for Flute and Piano, FP164 (1956-57)
I. Allegro malinconico
II. Cantilena: Assez lent
III. Presto giocoso
Of this late addition to his large roster of chamber works, Poulenc wrote: “In working on this Flute Sonata I
have the feeling of going back a long way, but with a more settled technique. It’s a sonata of Debussyan
dimensions. It’s the French sense of balance [la mesure française]. Finding the form for your language is
the most difficult thing.”
Gabriela Lena Frank (b.1972): Five Andean Improvisations (2019)
The American composer Gabriela Lena Frank is of mixed Lithuanian/Jewish and Peruvian/Chinese
ancestry, and the Five Andean Improvisations reflect her multicultural identity. I. Quena, is for flute alone,
while II. Ritmo del altiplano uses a simple one-two rhythm decorated with florid ornamentation. III. Pinkillo
is inspired by the small silvery flute of the same name. IV. Chuta presents the characteristic chuta motif of
the Andes, with its proliferation of repeated notes. V. Sombras depicts brilliant starlight and eerie night
shadows on the islands of Lake Titicaca.
César Franck (1822-1890): Violin Sonata in A Major, FWV8 (1886)
arranged for flute
I. Allegretto ben moderato
II. Allegro
III. Recitativo-Fantasia: Ben moderato
IV. Allegretto poco mosso
César Franck wrote only three mature chamber works, but each is a masterpiece of its genre. After
Franck’s death, the violin sonata’s original publisher issued a version for flute and piano, which formed the
basis for a recent Urtext edition, though the great French flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal also edited the work.
As you will hear, the sonata transfers well to the flute, from the limpid melody that opens and permeates
the first movement to the soaring elegance and agility of the finale.
The Artists
Australian flutist Catherine Gregory performs in some of the world’s foremost venues - from Alice Tully
Hall in New York to London’s Milton Court, Hamburg’s new Elbphilharmonie, and the Sydney Opera
House. The New York Times has called her playing “magically mysterious,” also writing that “Ms. Gregory
left a deep impression, her sound rich and fully present.” Read about Catherine Gregory by clicking:
http://www.catherinegregory.com/
A member of the UCLA piano faculty and a Yamaha/Bösendorfer Artist, David Kaplan has been called
“excellent and adventurous” by The New York Times, and praised by the Boston Globe for “grace and fire”
at the keyboard. Kaplan’s New Dances of the League of David, a recital he performed at RHUMC, infused
Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze with 16 short commissioned works and was cited among the “Best
Classical Music Performances of 2015" by The New York Times.
