Acclaimed Pianist David Korevaar Will Perform with the Boulder Piano Quartet at Academy Chapel Hall on Friday, February 28 at 7pm. The performance will begin with the rarely heard, romantic and tuneful piano quartet by 19th-century French composer Léon Boëllmann-a composer who is best known for his organ works, but who also wrote several beautiful and worthy chamber works. The music has a clarity and charm that is distinctly French, and the work boasts a number of hummable tunes. The second work, composed in 2006, is 'Faustus' by Broomfield-based composer (also pianist, clarinetist, arranger) John Heins, whose emotional and romantic music has been widely recorded and performed. Robert Schumann's great Piano Quartet, Op. 47, will conclude the program. The Boulder Piano Quartet, whose members include Korevaar, violinist Charles Wetherbee, violist Matthew Dane and cellist Thomas Heinrich, is currently in residence at Academy Chapel Hall, located at 970 Aurora Ave., in Boulder.
