The 92nd Street Y, one of New York's leading cultural venues, begins a new alliance with the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music with a live in-person concert and a master class. This first-of-its kind collaboration, entitled Curtis at 92Y, will give Curtis its first-ever "home" in New York City - and give the 92Y community an opportunity to learn from Curtis faculty and alumni and enjoy the work of one of the most important conservatories in the world. Both institutions hope to build on this first phase with greater and deeper engagement, beginning with programming designed to educate, engage, and delight audiences and students of all ages, through performances, classes for schoolchildren, adult education, mentorship, and more.  On Friday, February 18, 2022 at 7:30pm ET, the first of two annual Curtis on Tour concerts premieres with a Curtis ensemble, comprising esteemed faculty members Ida Kavafian, violin, and Peter Wiley, cello, and three recent alumni of Curtis: Francis Carr, cello ('21), Lun Li, violin ('20), and Cara Pogossian, viola, ('21).

A performance of Schubert's C-Major Quintet will be followed by the New York premiere of a new work by another member of Curtis' faculty, with Grammy Award-winning composer Richard Danielpour's String Quintet ("A Shattered Vessel"). Written 190 years after the Schubert work for the same instrumentation of two violins, viola and two cellos, ("A Shattered Vessel") contemplates crisis and struggle, loss and healing, renewal and gratitude. The program includes: Danielpour, String Quintet ("A Shattered Vessel") (NY premiere)  Schubert, String Quintet in C Major, D. 956 Lun Li, violin Ida Kavafian, violin Cara Pogossian, viola Francis Carr, cello Peter Wiley, cello Concert available for viewing online for 72 hours from time of broadcast.

"Our combined 250 years of experience in music education at the highest level creates the foundation for extraordinary new opportunities for artistic growth in students of all ages."  Curtis and 92Y will also work together to develop engaging educational activities around Curtis on Tour appearances on 92Y's concert series for students enrolled in 92Y's School of Music, and in the larger New York City community, with a particular focus on the segment of the community served by 92Y's Center for Arts Learning & Leadership, a renowned music education program developed and run by 92Y that pre-pandemic served over 15,000 primarily under-resourced New York City public school students in-person, and now has expanded nationally online.   "We are pleased to join 92Y in this endeavor and are thrilled by its tremendous potential," says Andrew Lane, Vice President of Touring and Artist Management at Curtis. "Together we will amplify the performance and educational offerings of both of our institutions, reach new audiences, and deepen our relationships with the communities we serve." In summer 2022, selected students from 92Y's highly-regarded Recanati-Kaplan Program for Excellence in the Arts will study with Curtis alumni teaching artists in an online intensive instructional and mentorship program. 92Y's Recanati-Kaplan program offers full merit-based scholarships for gifted and talented students to foster their creative potential through a broad range of individualized instruction, advanced classes, and mentoring to accelerate learning and support technical accomplishment. This intensive online program with Curtis will supplement the development of overall musicianship and preparedness for our most dedicated scholars.  With 18 concerts, the spring season includes two appearances by world-renowned pianist Angela Hewitt; two performances by The Knights as 92Y's inaugural Ensemble in Residence; the eagerly anticipated New York City main stage debut of pianist Eric Lu; the Grammy Award-nominated Israeli mandolin wizard Avi Avital; two co-presentations with the New York Philharmonic; and the return of guitarist Pablo Sainz-Villegas.

Program:
Mendelssohn, "Ah, ritorna, età dell'oro" from Infelice
Bloch, "Nigun" from Baal Shem
Massenet, "Je suis encore tout étourdie" from Manon
Hérold, "Jours de mon enfance" from Le pré aux clercs

Wienawski, Scherzo-Tarantelle, Op. 16
Gimenez, "Zapateado"
Narciso Figueroa, "Mi Rancho"
Bernstein, West Side Story Suite (Arr. Brohn/czarnecki)

"Our concept for the Voice and the Violin program began during the pandemic, while we were quarantined and finding new ways to collaborate and enjoy music together. Although finding repertoire written specifically for violin and voice can be a challenge, we discovered and fell in love with these gems featured in tonight's performance. An example of this comes from one of Mendelssohn's lesser-known works, "Ah, ritorna, età dell'oro" from Infelice. It was wonderful to explore a work by one of our favorite composers that was originally written for this unique instrumentation. Another happy discovery was Hérold's "Jours de mon enfance" from the opera Le pré aux clercs. This piece features exciting dialogue moments between the voice and the violin, making it especially fun for us to perform this piece together. Larisa is especially proud to showcase the song 'Mi Rancho' by Puerto Rican composer Narciso Figueroa, and lyrics by Luis Lloréns Torres, as a little gem from her homeland. Closing the performance is a medley based on Bernstein's beloved West Side Story suite, arranged by our friend Charles Czarnecki. Based on an earlier violin and orchestra arrangement of the suite, this piece now sparkles in a new light. We are so happy to see this project come to fruition and are thrilled to be performing it with our friend Peter Dugan." - Joshua Bell and Larisa Martínez
