EPISODE 11 | VADIM GLUZMAN & JANICE CARISSA

KAUFMAN MUSIC CENTER MERKIN HALL | NEW YORK CITY, NY

This episode features violinist Vadim Gluzman and pianist Janice Carissa performing an assortment of works by Beethoven, Auerbach, and Bartók.

 

 

Vadim Gluzman & Janice Carissa

  • Beethoven | Violin Sonata No. 7 in C minor 
  • Auerbach | T’filah
  • Bartók | Romanian Dances

 

 

"For the second Vanguard Concerts series, we encouraged musicians not to perform standard repertoire," Geoffrey John Davies said.

“We asked them to present works, or fragments of works, that they’re really passionate about and that truly represent them as artists. We are incredibly grateful to the Alphadyne Foundation, whose generosity and support again made this all possible."

“Like Series 1, not only are we paying the performers real fees for their performances, but we are also creating the ultimate promotional materials and giving the artists the right to use them at no cost in perpetuity.”

 

Each episode of Vanguard Concerts, like the first season, was shot in 4K with seven cameras at the Kaufman Music Center’s Merkin Hall, in New York City. The artists performed in front of a 41-foot-long and 11.5-foot-high background curved LED wall that incorporated gently moving colors, patterns, or scenic views customized for each performer. The result is a musically and visually stunning product that redefines the virtual concert experience for audiences worldwide.
