Con Brio has brought audiences some unique concert programs performed by Indians (and some honorary Indians) for seven years. This year will be no different. To celebrate 70 years of Indian independence, all programs will have a strong Indian connection. Mark Troop, Marialena Feranandes, Patricia Rozario and Paul Stewart will all be present as will several past Con Brio competition winners and young Indian singers, string players and wind players.
In the opening concert, there will be works by Western composers who were strongly influenced by India, such as a two-piano version of Nikolai Medtner's Third Piano Concerto, which was dedicated to the Maharajah of Mysore; a set of 18 short piano pieces based on Indian ragas by Yoram Paporisz, which will be presented in varied arrangements with piano and strings; and Maurice Delage's Ragamalika, a piece for soprano and piano that employs Indian scales in a characteristically French atmosphere.
This is an NCPA presentation.
