Graduate Recitals

University of British Columbia

Graduate Recital in April of 2009 constituted 75 minutes of solo material for solo viola, and viola and piano. Works performed consisted of J.S Bach’s 4th cello suite (transcribed for viola), a viola sonata by Glinka, then intermission followed by Britten’s Lachrymae, and a sonata for viola and piano by Hindemith. The final Graduate Recital, performed on October 1st of 2010, consisted of J.S Bach’s 1st suite for cello (transcribed for viola), Haydn’s Divertimento for viola and piano, Bruch’s Kol Nidrei and the viola sonata by Shostakovich. Both recitals reflect a wide range of styles varying from Baroque in the 17th Century to Romantic in the 19th, to the modem period with Shostakovich’s profoundly reflective viola work in the late 20th Century. The music presented in both recitals was chosen for its soloistic flare and intellectual reflection, and served ideally for the demonstration of a finely tuned technique with regard to rhythm, intonation, tone production and musical interpretation.
