CMU Faculty Recitals: Saariaho, Perkinson, and Bach

 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:

1.  Kaija Saariaho: Sept Papillons for Solo Cello (2000)
2. Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson: Lamentations Black/Folk Song Suite for Solo Cello (1973)
3. J.S. Bach: Cello Suite No. 6

Ottone in Villa

 

Watched this opera on February 3rd at the CMU.
