Classics V: Dancing Mallets & Pulsing Percussion<\/a>. arx duo will perform, including the world premiere of Nick DiBernardino\u2019s\u00a0Double Percussion Concerto, on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 7:30 PM in the Pantages Theater.<\/p>\nPercussionists Garrett Arney and Mari Yoshinaga make arx duo. Working closely with a large variety of composers and ensembles, arx duo is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that expands the percussion repertoire by commissioning, performing and workshop pieces from artists all over the world. arx duo has served as educators at many universities including Peabody Conservatory, Michigan State University, and currently serve as faculty for the Curtis Institute of Music Young Artists Summer Program<\/p>\n
Beginning the program will be Bart\u00f3k\u2019s\u00a0Romanian Folk Dances. Originally composed for solo piano in 1915, Bart\u00f3k developed an interest in his native folk music in his early 20s, noting, \u201cI consider it my goal in life to continue my study of Romanian folk music, at least in Transylvania, and carry it to its end \u2026\u201d. Bartok traveled to Transylvania numerous times, where he recorded and transcribed the music of the local population. These folk tunes provided the tunes, rhythms and harmonies that inspired his own compositions.<\/p>\n
Beethoven\u2019s renowned\u00a0Symphony No. 7\u00a0will close out the program, one of his best works according to Beethoven himself. The piece\u2019s four movements leave a poetic impression on listeners, favoring so well it had to be repeated in concert four days later. Each movement varies- from an extensive, slow introduction, leading you into the most graceful, haunting ten minutes of music ever composed. This is followed by a frenzied scherzo movement, and finishing with incredibly high energy. While critics wondered if Beethoven was intoxicated at the time of the composition, French writer and Beethoven\u2019s biographer, Romain Rolland, responded, \u201cIt was indeed the work of an intoxicated man, but one intoxicated with poetry and genius.\u201d<\/p>\n
