I'm dedicating this post to a far-gone event I attended in April.
Throughout the years, I have enjoyed faculty recitals at Carnegie Mellon University so interesting. The series has been very educational, and intricately selected works opened new horizons and introduced new artists to me.
The last event I could attend was the solo cello performance by Angela Park.
The repertoire for that musical evening was eclectic:
- Kaija Saariaho: Sept Papillons for Solo Cello (2000)
- Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson: Lamentations Black/Folk Song Suite for Solo Cello (1973)
- J.S. Bach: Cello Suite No. 6
It was the second time I listened to an adaptation of Kaija Saariaho's works. The first encounter was listening to Wing of the Dream: Concerto for Flute and Orchestra (performed by Lorna McGhee and conducted by Osmo Vänskä).
I will always remember April 22nd, 2025, as a day spent with Sarriaho, Bach, and my new friend Mr. Perkinson! Thank you, Ms. Park!
