A Musical Feast
by Geoff Kelly
This week former Buffalo Philharmonic concertmaster Charles Haupt presents the third in his new series of chamber music concerts. A Musical Feast, as Haupt has titled the series, is hosted by the Kavinoky Theatre, whose excellent acoustics and intimate size are ideal for the sort of music and musicianship the series showcases. Haupt’s selections in the first two performances by and large have comprised the classical canon, but for this performance he has chosen a more modern path: Only one of the featured composers, Zoltan Kodaly, was born prior to 1900. The program features Haupt and Feng Hew, associated principal cellist with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, playing Kodaly’s Duo for Violin and Cello, Op. 7. Percussionist Tom Kolor performs Rebonds (a) by Iannis Xenaxis. Soprano Tony Arnold and flutist Cheryl Gobbetti-Hoffman joins Kolor in John Cage’s Music for Three. Gobbetti-Hoffman will also play Voice by Toru Takemistu, and Charles Castleman will perform the Buffalo premiere of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s Violin Sonata No. 2, written in 1967. Arnold and Gobbetti-Hoffman will also perform Thea Musgrave’s Primavera. This performance, and this series as a whole, is a must for lovers of chamber music.
Tuesday, January 16 at 8pm. The Kavinoky Theatre, D’Youville College, 320 Porter Avenue (829-7668). $25.
