Little City Concerts presents David Hyun-Su Kim & Friends
Fortepianist David Hyun-Su Kim presents a program that celebrates the artistry of Clara Schumann, including two of her finest pieces: the three violin Romances, played by David Kim and violinist Lauren Basney, and the g minor Piano Trio, where they will be joined by cellist John Moran. Clara was perhaps the most important pianist of the 19th century; presenting her as a performer, as she likely viewed herself, brings a unique turn to our program. In particular, Claras improvisations were greatly admired in her day. Davids research and practice makes it possible to reproduce improvisations that mimic her style, and our program will include some of these as well. The program will be rounded out with Franz Schuberts piano sonata no 21 in Bb Major, a piece Clara performed, by a composer whose legacy was a constant in her long professional life.
Claras commitment to family is near legendary: she raised eight children and several grandchildren, cared for a mentally-ill husband, and famously braved a warzone to rescue her children. The uncompromising value she placed on support, stability, and community has inspired us to partner with Doorways. Serving the Arlington, Virginia community since 1978, Doorways creates pathways out of homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault leading to safe, stable, and empowered lives. Doorways trauma-informed response to intimate partner violence includes a spectrum of fully state-accredited programs and services, from prevention and outreach, to community-based services, to shelter and housing. Doorways meets the needs of each adult, teen, and child they serve with individually tailored support, ranging from one-time crisis interventions to healing journeys which span across the organization's continuum of care.
Received traditions are shaped by their modern narration: by performing not on familiar modern instruments, but on their historical counterparts, this event also seeks to present well-known music in a new (and old) light. These historical instruments, presented in a historical space in Falls Church, bring into question many long held assumptions about seemingly-familiar repertoire.
