As part of Jacaranda’s concert series celebrating the music of Olivier Messiaen and the artists who influenced him, the “Diary Gallery Elegy” concert will include works by Isaac Albeniz, Modest Mussorgsky, and Peter Tchaikovsky. Pianists Eduardo Delgado & Robert Edward Thies will be performing with cellist Andrew Schulman and violinist Joel Pargman.
This concert explores how the palpable Spanish atmosphere of Iberia, a musical diary by Albeniz, and Mussorgsky’s exhilarating tour of Russian paintings left their imprint on Messiaen’s keyboard style. The intense emotions of Tchaikovsky’s farewell to Mussorgsky resonated with Messiaen’s embrace of melodic sincerity.
