Christ & St Stephen's Church, 122 W 69th St, New York, NY 10023

You know what’s fun about classical music? Well, many things, but one of our favorites is taking well-known and worn masterpieces and casting them in a fresh light, casting aside the oppressing weight of tradition.
Join myself, Milan Milisavljevic, on viola, and the pianist extraordinaire Yoni Levyatov, hailed by The New York Times for his “appealing electricity”, as we present Johannes Brahms’s two Viola Sonatas Op. 120, with “A Bird Came Down the Walk” by Toru Takemitsu sandwiched in between the two.
Yoni, also famous as a fashionista as well as a creative mastermind, will improvise between some of the movements of the Brahms, its music being the “Open Source” of inspiration the show is named after.
I guarantee you’ve never heard anything like this. That, the fact that this show concludes our first season, and our expressive playing, are the reasons you shouldn’t miss it!

Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church, 152 West 66th St, New York, NY 10023

In this concert, Music for the People celebrates some of the amazing women artists who have inspired us. We are very excited to have the violin superstar Lara St John join us in J.S. Bach’s Concerto in E Major, as well as the world premiere of Juilliard faculty member Milica Paranosic‘s arrangement of her Čoček for strings and violin! We’ll get to hear Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw‘s Entr’acte, already on its way to becoming a classic. To top it off, Schubert’s Fifth Symphony, gorgeous and strongly inspired by Mozart.
