In his program Image & Sound, pianist Itay Goren explores music inspired by pictures, real or imaginary. Focusing on Schumann’s Carnival Scenes from Vienna, Debussy’s Images and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Mr. Goren will discuss the parallels in these composers’ creative sensibilities, their compositional techniques and their own thoughts about music. The presentation will culminate with a performance of Pictures at an Exhibition.

Described as "an evocative journey from shimmering excitement to calm contemplation" (Classical New Jersey), pianist Itay Goren's performances touch the heart and magically transport the imagination of the listener. He has performed in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and the US and maintains a busy concert schedule. Following a recent performance at a summer festival in France, a French newspaper singled out his interpretation of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition as “dazzling”. This season highlights include chamber music concerts in Vienna and Germany, a premiere of a piano sonata which was written for him by American composer Randall Svane, and performances of Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto with the Tübingen Academic Orchestra in Germany.

Dear Teachers,

The second Student Recital of the year will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at the First Congregational Church of Darien, 14 Brookside Road, Darien CT

Music must be memorized and at a performance standard. Duets with parents are not appropriate for this setting. Please remind parents not to bring siblings under the age of 5, so as not to distract the performers or the audience.
