InterHarmony International Music Festival proudly presents “A Flower Blooms in Snow,” showcasing emerging artists making their debut at Carnegie Hall alongside seasoned InterHarmony Artists—Lenora Anop (violin), Antonio Di Cristofano (piano), and Misha Quint (cello). These performances are a highlight of the InterHarmony Concert Series, taking place at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall on January 25 at 8 p.m.
Pianist Gabriel Palacios takes the stage, interpreting two movements of Schumann's Kreisleriana. Inspired by the eccentric, fictional conductor, Johannes Kreisler, this is a challenging composition about “a half-mad musician tumbling into insanity.” Although critiqued for its complexity, it showcases Schumann's remarkable artistry through dramatic oscillations between extremes of tonality and timbre.
Gabriel Palacios is in his final year of studies at Andrews University and plans on continuing his musical training to pursue a master’s degree in piano performance.
Pianist Ben Loenser performs Rachmaninoff’s brooding Etude Tableaux Op. 39, No. 5. Written after an intense study of Scriabin’s work and emerging like a shadow against crystalline snow, this work encourages the audience to creatively imagine its implications.
Currently under the tutelage of Dr. Chi Yong Yon, Benjamin Loenser is a second-year student at Andrews University where he is pursuing a Bachelor of Music and Science.
