ROMANZA HEADLINER: Duo Arpeggione – Relationship Failure

Dr.Catherine Lan, pianist, and Dr. Claudio Jaffe, cellist, are presenting a program entitled Relationship Failure.

This unique offering begins with the premise that not all couples and siblings have great relationships. Duo Arpeggione presents two works for piano and cello that reflect failed connections.

Edvard Grieg tells the story of two brothers who no longer speak to each other and David Popper recounts the moment his marriage fell apart. Cellist Claudio Jaffe and pianist Catherine Lan bring those musical stories to life with virtuosity, passion, humor, and sensitivity in a program you don’t want to miss. The program will also include ultra-romantic works by American Arthur Foote, a Harvard graduate and the first noted American classical composer to be trained entirely in the U.S.
