SERENATA MUSIC BEGINS THE 2025 SEASON WITH THE LONDON SYMPHONIA

On our first concert on Saturday, February 1, Rei Hotoda will conduct the London Symphonia in "A New Moon Celebration" featuring Scott St. John, violin, Lina Cao, gusheng, narrator Derek Kwan and the rising stars of the London Youth Symphony. We will be taken through the meaning of the music much of which will be new to London audiences. We will hear compositions by Kevin Lau, Huang Rui, RenataroTaki, Debussy, Alice Ping Yee Ho, Li Huazhi and Rui Wang. It should be a fascinating evening.
This concert follows the last London Symphonia concert which featured Joe Lanza and the Symphonia Strings in a wonderful Baroque program. Londoners are fortunate to have the opportunity to hear such great music.

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.
