The Classical Connections series kicks off Hamilton's performing arts season with a performance by cellist Maya Beiser and pianist Anthony de Mare on Saturday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center for Music and the Performing Arts.
In the hands of Maya Beiser, the cello acquires an astonishing range of voices and dramatic characters. A searingly passionate player who surpasses all technical difficulties with ease, the Israeli-born cellist has been a featured performer at major concert halls and alternative stages throughout the world — as has her partner in this musical journey, pianist Anthony de Mare. Recognized throughout the world for his dedication to the music of our time, de Mare is an award-winning pianist with an extraordinary ability to create theatrical worlds out of musical works. Together, Beiser and de Mare will perform selections from composer Astor Piazzolla's Oblivión as well as more adventurous selections from their repertoire.
Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 Hamilton employees, and seniors and $5 students. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 1-4 p.m., and 1 1/2 hours prior to all performances. Call 859-4331 for more information.
