Concert Schedule: Russian Chamber Chorus of New York

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming concert! Tchaikovsky and his Contemporaries January 22, 2012 Concert Flyer \| New Yorker listing St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village Sunday, January 22, 3:30 p.m. 371 Sixth Avenue (between Waverly and Washington Place) "Tchaikovsky and His Contemporaries" is designed to show the influence Tchaikovsky had on the musical life of his contemporaries. His innovations in Russian sacred and secular music gave a powerful impetus to many subsequent generations of Russian composers. Tchaikovsky brought to life musical landscapes, including his piano cycle "The Seasons," from which "January" is included in this program. The theme of beauty and love is powerfully expressed in Tchaikovsky's cantata "Nature and Love," which was set to the composer's own text. Patriotism, morality, and compassion in the works of Tchaikovsky echoed in the soul of the young Rachmaninoff. His "Six Choruses for Women's Voices," written in early youth, expresses deep emotion, as well as poetic images of nature, composed with elegance and sophistication. One of Tchaikovsky's most enthusiastic admirers was his contemporary, Anton Arensky, whose "Three Quartets" for voices and cello is one of the gems of Russian Romantic music.
