La Mer: Two Pianos & Sax
In an arrangement for two pianos, this concert spotlights Debussy’s celebrated ‘symphonic sketches’ of the sea; an impressionistic, symbolist masterpiece, drawn from childhood memories and the composer’s abiding interest in Japanese art.
Before this, award-winning saxophonist Amy Dickson shares a thrilling and highly virtuosic sonata by Japanese composer Yoshimatsu and a piece by Chinese composer Wu Tong, which reflects on life during lockdown and was written for performance with Kathryn’s friend and frequent collaborator, cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
Programme:
- WU TONG Rain Falling from the roof (5’) Y
- OSHIMATSU Fuzzy Bird Sonata (16’)
- DEBUSSY (arr. CAPLET) La Mer (for two pianos) (25’)
Part of the Sheffield Chamber Music Festival.
