June 13 - December 31, 2020; a new concert livestreamed at 4 p.m. Pacific each Saturday and Sunday from July 18 - August 2
In this, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, Valley of the Moon Music Festival (VMMF) will offer audiences the complete cycle of Beethoven's 32 sonatas for piano performed by Eric Zivian. Over the course of the cycle, Zivian will use two different Viennese fortepianos corresponding with the changing sound world during Beethoven's lifetime, from a smaller, more percussive Poletti (copy of Dulcken, 1795) for the earlier sonatas, to an original 1841 Rausch for the later sonatas.
The 32 sonatas will be presented throughout the 2020 calendar year. Every Saturday a new installment will be broadcast on KSVY 91.3 FM radio and Sonoma Valley Television, SVTV 27. For one week following the televised broadcasts the performances will also be available for streaming on demand free of charge at valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org.
In addition to the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas, from July 18 - August 2, VMMF will explore Beethoven's smaller chamber works, including his violin sonatas with Avery Fisher Grant recipient and rising star Francisco Fullana. Making her VMMF debut is Audrey Vardanega, a pupil of Richard Goode with a special interest in historical pianos. The Festival is also proud to welcome soprano Maya Kherani, familiar to Bay Area audiences for her acclaimed roles with Opera Parallele, Opera San Jose and West Edge Opera. Violist Liana Berube returns for a fifth season with VMMF. And not least of all, cellist Tanya Tomkins, who co-directs VMMF, will be featured in several programs.
The Festival will livestream a new concert at 4 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday from July 18 - August 2. All programs are entirely free to the public. VMMF is committed to supporting its musicians, and a suggested donation of $10 will go directly to supporting artists and staff.
