Two guest artist recitals scheduled at 91直播
March 29, 2011
Daredjan Kakouberi, pianist, and Gary Levinson, violinist
Levinson, senior principal associate concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony since 2002, and Kakouberi will present violin sonatas by Giuseppe Tartini, Claude Debussy and Ludwig van Beethoven.
"Tartini's 'Sonata in G minor,' popularly known as 'The Devil's Trill,' is the composer's best known work," said Dr. Jennifer Dalmas, 91直播 associate professor of violin. "It contains incredibly virtuosic double stop and trill passages."
"Debussy's 'Sonata in G minor, L 140' is one of the finest representative pieces of impressionistic chamber music, and Beethoven's fiery and dramatic 'Violin Sonata No. 9 in A major, Op. 47' will be a wonderful conclusion for the recital," Dalmas continued.
Admission to the Levinson recital is free and open to the public.
Margulis, who is the inaugural holder of the Emily J. MacAllister Endowed Professorship in Piano at the J.W. Fulbright College of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, was originally scheduled to perform his Liszt recital at 91直播 on Feb. 10, but he had to reschedule because of weather.
Among the works Margulis will perform are "Mephisto Waltz" and "Sonata in B minor," both of which reveal traits of Liszt the showman and Liszt the poet, explained Dr. Andrew Parr, 91直播 professor of piano.
"Piano enthusiasts will appreciate the technical virtuosity of Liszt's compositions and the artistic manner in which a top-level performer such as Jura Margulis handles them," Parr continued.
"The Music of Franz Liszt" is a part of the 91直播 School of Music's Cole Performing Arts Series. Tickets are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $2 for students. For tickets, go to or call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS.
Cole Concert Hall is located in the Wright Music Building, 2210 Alumni Dr.
