Featuring Tyler Cassidy-Heacock, soprano; Cora Swenson Lee, cello;
Warner Iveris, guitar. The program is built around two pieces David
Hochstein is known to have played on violin: Schubert’s lied “Ave
Maria” and Fritz Kreisler’s “Liebesleid.” Schubert is now well
known for his song cycles for piano and voice, but there is anecdotal
evidence that he may have also played guitar. Using arrangements made
by 19th-century Parisian guitarist Napoléon Coste, Tyler
Cassidy-Heacock will be singing three Schubert songs accompanied
Warner Iveris on guitar. Cora Swenson Lee will perform Schubert’s
famous Arpeggione Sonata, originally written for a type of bowed
guitar-like instrument of the same name and piano, on cello with
guitar accompaniment. Austrian-born violinist Fritz Kreisler was one
of the most famous classical musicians in the world during the first
decade of the 20th century and his original compositions remain
staples of the violin repertoire. Lee and Iveris will perform
Kreisler’s “Liebesleid” as an homage to David Hochstein. Since
1991, Spotlight on Faculty has highlighted the prestigious Hochstein
faculty in a variety of ensembles and musical genres from chamber
music and dance to jazz, contemporary, and classical. A key feature of
the Spotlight on Faculty concerts is that Hochstein faculty members
work together to create their own program and submit proposals to
perform on the series. Each concert begins at 7:00 pm, lasts about an
hour, and is followed by a “meet the artists” reception. Admission
is $10 per person, with a $20 family maximum. Concerts are free to
Hochstein students/families, faculty, and staff. The Spotlight on
Faculty concert series is made possible by the New York State Council
on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York
State Legislature. Thank you to Wegmans Food Markets for their support
of our community events.
