Two Voices: A Musical Conversation for Cello and Piano
Friday, October 9th at 7 p.m. Tickets: tiny.cc/twovoices
“Listening, answering, echoing, remembering.”
Two extraordinary musicians meet in an intimate musical conversation spanning centuries. Internationally acclaimed pianist Alon Goldstein, celebrated for his dynamic performances and adventurous programming, joins cellist Jonah Kim, an artist whose “cosy warmth” of tone and formidable technique have captivated audiences worldwide.
A program of intimate musical dialogue, bringing together works by Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Dvořák. From the intricate architecture of Bach’s D-major Partita to the lyrical intimacy of Schubert and Brahms, this recital explores the many ways two voices can speak to one another—through melody, dialogue, contrast, and shared silence. Beethoven’s radiant A-major Sonata and Schumann’s expressive Fantasiestücke reveal the cello and piano as equal partners, while Dvořák’s spirited Rondo brings the conversation to a brilliant close.
Kim made his solo debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at just twelve years old and has since performed around the world. Goldstein has appeared with leading orchestras including the Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles Philharmonics. Together, they bring exceptional artistry, curiosity, and a shared love of musical discovery to a program that invites us to listen not simply to two instruments, but to two voices in conversation.
