Tue 11/3 @ 7:30PM
The French classical duo of cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras and pianist Alexandre Tharaud have been collaborating for three decades, touring the world and releasing albums together since they were in their 20s. Both have built flourishing careers outside the duo as well.
Tharaud has played at Oberlin before, in 2019, but when Queyras joins him on the stage at Finney Chapel on Tuesday November 3, it will be his first performance there. Their concert will include Francis Poulenc’s Suite française (d’après Claude Gervaise), FP. 80; Johannes Brahms’ Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38; Alban Berg’s Vier Stücke, Op. 5; Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A Minor, D.821, “Arpeggione”: II. Adagio; Benjamin Britten’s Cello Sonata in C Major, Op. 65: Mvmts I. & V.; Marin Maraiss Pièces de viole, 2nd Book, Suite No. 1 in D Minor: Prélude & Sarabande; Claude Debussy’s Sonate, L. 135: I. Prologue: Lent, sostenuto e molto risoluto; Gabriel Fauré’s Sicilienne, Op. 78 & Papillon, Op. 77; and selections from Brahms’ Hungarian dances, arranged by the performers.
