Sally Pinkas
The pianist's annual solo recital opens up 'small wonders' by Mozart, Bartók, Kapralova and Moseley.
2024/25 SeasonIn this program, Pinkas juxtaposes music of the modern era with that of a classical giant, Mozart. Moseley's serene Fugue evokes the past, while Kaprálova's neoclassical Préludes anticipate her avant-guard future. Marking his break from Romantic tradition, Bartók's Bagatelles Op. 6 experiment with a highly expressive dissonant language. The memorable late Mozart Sonata in F Major, full of unexpected twists and turns, closes the evening on a high note.
