Paderewski in Paris: A Fin-de-Siècle Sensation
Focusing on the years that Paderewski spent in Paris in the late 1880′s and early 1890′s, this concert will highlight his connections with French musicians and artists and the important role of the Parisian salons in launching Paderewski’s international career.
Among the works in the program are Paderewski’s Violin Sonata and Saint-Saëns’s Polonaise for two pianos, a work that he dedicated to Paderewski and with whom he gave the premiere.
Paderewski in Paris: A Fin-de-Siècle Sensation was part of our 2001-2002 Season.
