Cultural Series: Maryna Mazhukova, piano
Temple Society of Concord

Temple Society of Concord
910 Madison St., Syracuse

This program will include the complete Liszt piano transcription of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. As a programmatic work, this symphony lends itself to multi-media presentation, and the transcription is itself a magnificent, challenging and exciting piece of piano writing, which is faithful to the Beethoven score as well as being worthy of Liszt. A slide show will accompany the music, of 17th-19th century paintings of landscapes and country. The program will also include Scriabin's Piano Sonata No. 10, accompanied by images of the wonders of space as revealed by modern telescopes.
