Sonata Night 53: Music for Cello and Piano

Under the direction of NEC faculty pianist Pei-Shan Lee, Sonata Night is an evening of piano-instrumental masterworks featuring collaborative pianists in partnership with their instrumental colleagues. 

Sonata, a musical term of several meanings, is used here to signify a duo form of equal partnership. Sonata Night programming spans a wide range of musical styles and features the world's greatest duo works from the Baroque through the 20th century, including compositional forms such as multi-movement suites and character pieces. 

Sonata Night performers are coached jointly by faculty of the collaborative piano and instrumental departments.

Tonight's program of sonatas for cello and piano - a collaboration with the cello studio of Paul Katz - includes Chopin's Introduction and Polonaise brillante for Cello and Piano, op. 3, Francis Poulenc's Sonata for Cello and Piano, FP 143, and Grieg's Sonata for Cello and Piano, op. 36.
