Flatiron Festival
The Flatiron Festival is a classical chamber music series conceived as a pilgrimage into the sublime, where each program serves as an offering, combining the rare and the beloved.
Set in a true reincarnation of a 19th-century music salon, embodied by Gotham Arts' spacious yet intimate loft, the second season of the Flatiron Festival spans five centuries of music, presenting a rich panorama of beloved masterpieces alongside works by lesser-known composers and exciting piano transcriptions performed by their own creators. The season also honors major musical anniversaries, celebrating the 240th anniversary of the birth and the 200th anniversary of the death of Carl Maria von Weber, as well as the 120th anniversary of the birth of Dmitry Shostakovich.
In seven offerings, audiences will hear 17 musicians, 23 composers, dozens of works written for 6 instruments—and unlimited discoveries!
Series highlights include dazzling original piano transcription showcase of pianists-transcribers Konstantin Soukovetski, Dan Sato, Asiya Korepanova and Nicolas Namoradze; recitals by pianists Jeffrey LaDeur and Éva Polgár, performing both iconic and incredibly rare piano works; powerhouse violin and piano duet works introduced by the Avita Duo; iconic clarinet masterpieces performed by Alexander Fiterstein; complete Shostakovich duo sonatas in a unique program by Irina Muresanu, Milena Pajaro van de Stadt and Julian Schwarz; and the series finale, featuring Weber's colorful Klavierstück in an arrangement with string quintet and brilliant Glinka's Grand Sextet, performed by pianist Asiya Korepanova, and the Argus Quartet.
