Hammond Performing Arts Series

Hammond Residential Real Estate presents a chamber music concert on Sunday, March 11 at 3:00 p. m. at The Friends of the Performing Arts in Concord, 15 Walden Street, Concord.  The concert features Jan Muller-Szeraws, cello, and Adam Golka, piano.

The program consists of Beethoven’s Sonata for Piano and Violoncello, Op. 102, No. 1, Shostakovich’s Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, Op. 40, and Chopin’s Sonata for Piano and Violoncello in G Minor, Op. 65.

Cellist Jan Muller-Szeraw’s musical journey has taken him over three continents as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher. Recent performances have included the world premiere of Bernard Hoffer’s Concerto di Camera 2 written for him and Boston Musica Viva and the Boston premiere of Gunther Schuller’s cello concerto.  In addition to being a member of Boston Musica Viva, he is a member of Mistral, the resident and touring ensemble of the Andover Chamber Music Series.  A visiting professor at the Universidad Catolica de Chile in 2007/2008, he is currently on faculty at the Phillips Academy Andover and the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester.  He is a grant recipient of the Saul B. and Naomi R. Cohen Foundation.

24-year old pianist Adam Golka is the winner of two of America’s most prestigious music awards: the 2008 Gilmore Young Artist Award, and most recently the 2009 Max I. Allen Classical Fellowship Award of the American Pianists Association.  Mr. Golka has amassed a broad performing repertoire in his young career; he has performed more than twenty piano concertos and enough solo works to fill at least twenty recital programs.

This recital is sponsored in keeping with the beliefs that talented music artists deserve performance opportunities and that it is right to enrich the cultural life of the communities in which we live and do business.
