SF Performances Presents: Miranda Cuckson, violin, Blair McMillen, piano
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Be among the first in the Bay Area to hear the debuts of Miranda Cuckson and Blair McMillen. These two internationally celebrated young artists, noted for their innate expressivity, musical dexterity, and boundlessly evident love for music and live performance. "Her command of line and naturalness of expression leave little doubt that Miranda Cuckson is an artist to be reckoned with" (Gramophone). "When played by the formidable Mr. McMillen, any piece sounds terrific" (The New York Times).
Violinist Miranda Cuckson delights listeners internationally as soloist and collaborator in a wide range of music, from older eras to the most current creations. She has in recent years become one of the most acclaimed and passionately committed performers of contemporary music, playing innumerable concerts and premieres of new works and moving new creations more into the center of musical life.
Hailed by the New York Times as "prodigiously accomplished and exciting" and as one of the piano's "brilliant stars," pianist Blair McMillen has forged a musical life that is unbounded by convention. He is well-known for his advocacy of living composers and contemporary music, as well as for championing very early keyboard music and more recent neglected masterpieces. For more than two decades, McMillen has divided his time as piano soloist, chamber musician, music festival director, and educator/teacher.
The program will include works by JANACEK, BEETHOVEN, PROKOFIEV, and ROSS LEE FINNEY
$70/$60/$50.
