Now the pianist makes her Caramoor solo debut with two more works by Price – the composer’s Sonata in E minor and Fantasie Nègre No.
This past spring, Cann gave the Philadelphia premiere of Price’s Concerto in One Movement with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, before reprising the same piece with the Cleveland Orchestra at the Blossom Music Festival on the Fourth of July. A champion of the music of Florence Price, in 2019 Cann joined the Thalea String Quartet at Caramoor for a sextet arrangement of the composer’s Piano Concerto. Pianist Michelle Cann made her orchestral debut at age fourteen and has been sought after as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician ever since. In a career stretching over more than three decades, Hough – the first classical performer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship – has recorded more than 50 albums, many of which have garnered international prizes including the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, Diapason d’Or, several Grammy nominations, Gramophone’s “Record of the Year” Award in both 19, and, in 2008, the “Gold Disc” Award from the same publication, which chose his complete Saint-Saëns Piano Concertos as the single best recording of the past 30 years. Lauded by The Guardian for “the most perfect piano playing conceivable” and by the Washington Post as “a virtuoso who begins where others leave off,” British pianist, composer and writer Stephen Hough plays a recital comprising Chopin’s Nocturne in F-sharp and Scherzo in B-flat minor, Schumann’s Kreisleriana, the Bagatelles by 20th-century British composer Alan Rawsthorne, and the pianist’s own Partita. We’ve curated a vibrant genre-spanning program of established masters and emerging artists education programs that mentor the next generation of musical stars and multicultural, sensory-friendly family events that invite everyone to enjoy the music. “We’re thrilled to continue live in-person music performances with our 2021–22 Fall–Spring season. Lewis III, Caramoor’s new President and CEO, explains: Looking ahead to the fall and spring season, Edward J.
