In the second concert of our da Camera concerts, cellist Edward Arron and pianist Jeewon Park, will take the stage with a remarkable program. With selections from Bach, Beethoven, Webern and Part, this program will showcase the melodic relationship between the classic duet: piano and cello.
Bach’s Sonata in D major is wrought with poignant melodies, coloring the emotive power of the duet. The selections in this program transform the piano and cello duet, illuminating the unique tonal qualities of the other, making for a truly remarkable program.
Praised for her “deeply reflective playing” (Indianapolis Star) and “infectious
exuberance” (New York Times), Korean-born pianist Jeewon Park has garnered the attention of audiences for her dazzling technique and poetic lyricism. Since making her debut at the age of 12 performing Chopin’s First Concerto with the Korean Symphony Orchestra, Ms. Park has performed in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, 92nd Street Y, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Seoul Arts Center in Korea.
Cellist Edward Arron has garnered recognition worldwide for his elegant musicianship, impassioned performances, and creative programming. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Arron made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, he has appeared in recital, as a soloist with major orchestras and as a chamber musician throughout North America, Europe and Asia.
