SERENATA MUSIC WELCOMES EVERYONE BACK TO THE 2025-26 CONCERT SEASON

We are pleased to continue our collaboration with both the London Symphonia and the Don Wright Faculty of Music.
Canadian pianist David Jalbert opens the season with London Symphonia with the Ravel piano concerto in G major. Londoners have had the privilege of hearing David on our stage and in London many times. Each concert has been unique as he expands his repertoire. Maestra Cosette Justo Vldes will make her Symphonia debut conducting Mozart's Symphony no.39, Holme's La Nuit et l"Amour, andPrat's Canta el Carretero Caunda Dan Las Seis.
In November The Musicians from Marlboro will return for the fourth time to perform at Western's von Kuster hall.
London's own Lara St. John will join London Symphonia in January with conductor Nicolas Ellis in a concert titled The Ancient Flame. She will perform Dorman's Violin concerto No.2, Nigunim.
Our final presentation will be The Brahms Effect. Clarinetist Graham Lord and the London Symphonia String Quartet, Joe Lanza, violin, Emile Pare, violin, Kelvin Enns, viola, and Ben Bolt-Martin will perform the Brahms Clarinet Quintet and other pieces. Tom Allen will provide the commentary.
We look forward to seeing you during this exciting season.

Biographies

Alon Goldstein, Piano
Saturday, May 2, 2015, 8 P.M.
Alon Goldstein, piano, in a program bridging the gap between the Romantic and the Modern musical periods. Works by Shubert, Liszt, Janáček, and Debussy provide an eclectic survey of where music was heading prior to the disrupting events of the first half of the 20th century.
Note there is a change in the program.
Schubert, Sonata No.19 in C minor;
Liszt, From Années de pèrelinage; Last scene from Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde;
Janacek, Piano Sonata I.X.1905;
Debussy, Selections from Preludes, Book II.
It is a pleasure to welcome back Alon Goldstein to the Serenata Music stage after a four year absence. He is one of the most original and sensitive pianists of his generation, admired for his musical intelligence, dynamic personality, artistic vision and innovative programming. He has played with the Israel, London, Radio France, and Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestras as well as the Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, St. Louis, Dallas, Houston, and Vancouver symphonies under such conductors as Zubin Mehta, Herbert Blomstedt, Vladimir Jurowski, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Leon Fleisher, Peter Oundjian, Yoel Levi and others. Over the past several years he has also taught and played at the Steans Institute of the Ravinia Festival, New York’s International Keyboard Festival and "Tel Hai” international piano master classes held in Israel. He recently played and recorded the Mendelssohn Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 with the Israel Chamber Orchestra conducted by Yoav Talmi. This collaboration scored a major success on a 17-concert Latin American tour. In addition to his solo performances he plays with the the Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein Trio.
