Recital Hall - $34

A reunion and celebration! Gilbert Kalish, a major figure in American musicmaking and a Distinguished Professor at Stony Brook as well as founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, reunites with Timothy Eddy, professor of cello at Juilliard and Mannes College of Music, renowned cellist of the Orion Quartet, the Bach Aria Group, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and former Stony Brook professor. Among the evening’s repertoire, the concert will include Elliot Carter’s Sonata for Cello and Piano. “December 11, 2008 is the actual 100th birthday of Elliot Carter, and in honor of this event, Tim and I will play his pathbreaking sonata from 1948,” notes Mr. Kalish. The sonata is one of the finest of Carter’s works and is considered one of the great American cello chamber pieces.
