A GILDED AGE EVENING IN NEW YORK
Tuesday, October 12, 2010, 7:30 p.m.
Lydia Artymiw, piano; Yehonatan Berick, violin; Yehuda Hanani, cello
Richard Chamberlain, special guest
Not only a great connoisseur of fine art, the industrialist Henry Clay Frick was a music enthusiast. He supported emerging enterprises (among them, the Pittsburgh Orchestra and New York's People's Symphony Concerts) and enjoyed warm relations with leading musical figures of his day such as Pablo Casals, Saint-Saëns, and Fritz Kreisler. With Dvo?ák's Dumky Trio, Saint-Saëns' Rondo Capriccioso, and music by Handel and Gounod, this program celebrates Frick's lesser known passion surrounded by his fabled art. Actor Richard Chamberlain helps recreate a Gilded Age evening with readings from Frick family diaries and period accounts.
