Yuki Numata
House Concert: Violin and Piano
The second, and final, concert of the Winter Series sponsored by the New Marlborough Village Association will take place on Sunday, February 5 at 4 p.m. at a private home in Stockbridge. Featured artists will be violinist, Yuki Numata, who delighted us last season in a violin-cello duo, and pianist, James Johnston. They will perform music by John Adams, Franco Donatoni and Gabriel Faure, as well as a new work by the pianist. As is usual in the House Concerts, the performers will give some insights into the music.
Yuki Numata is rapidly gaining attention as a charismatic virtuoso, having performed as a soloist with the New World Symphony, the University at Buffalo’s Slee Sinfonietta, the Wordless Music Orchestra, the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra and the Eastman Philharmonia Orchestra. Ms. Numata was invited to perform Charles Wuorinen’s Rhapsody with the Tanglewood Orchestra and at the composer’s request and as a last minute replacement, she performed Wuorinen’s Spin Five with The Slee Sinfonietta. Born in Vancouver, Canada, Ms. Numata received a Bachelor’s degree from the Eastman School of Music and a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan.
James Johnston is an American pianist, composer, and arranger whose abilities range from fresh interpretations of the classic literature through contemporary music, improvisation, and the many varieties of rock and jazz. A graduate of the Juilliard School and Yale University, James’s recent concert highlights include a performance of Mozart’s Concerto K.453 (with original cadenzas) with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and performances of Elliot Carter’s Double Concerto and John Adams’ Grand Pianola Music with the MSM orchestra.
The concert will last one hour, with wine and hors d’oeuvres served afterward.
