Sonata Night 51: Music for Saxophone 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. Tonight's program is a collaboration with Kenneth Radnofsky's saxophone studio.
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.
This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live.
