We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We celebrate Mother’s Day with another concert of wonderful works by women composers. We have discovered some real treasures in years past that have unfortunately not been included in the regular chamber music repertoire. For this program, we will highlight Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke, Mel Bonis, and Luisa LeBeau. All struggled to get their voices heard in their lifetimes and have been unfairly neglected after their deaths. The siblings, Emmanuel (violin), and Frances (cello) will join me for this very lyrical and passionate program. Hope you can join us!!
The wonderful South African cellist Jacques Pierre Malan returns to the Asheville area in this thrilling program highlighting the folk influences in music for cello and piano. We will perform the passionate Cello Sonata by Edvard Grieg filled with Norwegian tunes; Piazzolla’s amazing Le Grand Tango; and the little known, but very exciting, Five Pieces on Georgian Folk Themes by Sulkhan Tsintsadze. Malan came up in the fall and thrilled audiences with his powerful and lyrical playing. You will not want to miss this very exciting concert!
Join us for this fantastic program of piano trios by Czech composers. We will perform the very powerful Piano Trio in G Minor by Bedrich Smetana, composed soon after two of his young daughters died, which is filled with grief but also lyrical remembrances. We will also perform one of the greatest of all Piano Trios, the “Dumky” Piano Trio by Antonin Dvorak, based on several “Dumka” or folk tunes from the region. This is music that dances and moves the sprit. Two fantastic musicians who teach at the Peabody Prep department, violinist Andréa Picard Boecker and cellist Alicia Ward, will join me. You will not want to miss this program!
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:
