Maho Nabeshima

Piano recital

Maho Nabeshima has given solo and chamber music recitals in Japan, Germany and the United States. Her most recent performance was with flutist Margaret Cornils at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City. This will be her first solo recital in the Bay Area.

The program features selections from Olivier Messiaen's beautifully mysterious masterwork Vingt Regards sur l'enfant Jésus. American composer Alan Fletcher's Romance No. 2 adds a darkly lyrical and reflective sense of nostalgia to the night. Also featured on the program is the U.S. premiere of Bay Area composer Cody Wright's Pieces for Amelie for piano, left hand, written in 2009 in celebration of the birth of the pianist's daughter.

The three works together weave a journey through spiritual reflection, remembrance of things past, and the joys of new life.

The concert will feature McGinn's compositions cloud, city, uncertain for string quartet (2008) and here you get a day's work for violin and piano (2009).

Horns a Plenty

Brass ensemble

[+]

The five-piece brass band Horns a Plenty has one foot in J.S. Bach, the other in Duke Ellington, and plenty of brass in between. With a distinctly discriminatory policy in favor of trombones, cornets and flugelhorns, Horns a Plenty wants to squeeze as much music as it can out of each note. It's Bach, Sousa, ragtime, Dixieland and swing all fighting to be in first place. Horns a Plenty takes no prisoners!
