“Our concept for the Voice and the Violin program<\/b> began during the pandemic, while we were quarantined and finding new ways to collaborate and enjoy music together.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAlthough finding repertoire written specifically for violin and voice can be a challenge, we discovered and fell in love with these gems featured in tonight\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAn example of this comes from one of Mendelssohn\u2019s lesser-known works, \u201cAh, ritorna, et\u00e0 dell\u2019oro\u201d from\u00a0Infelice.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt was wonderful to explore a work by one of our favorite composers that was originally written for this unique instrumentation.<\/span><\/p>\nAnother happy discovery was H\u00e9rold\u2019s \u201cJours de mon enfance\u201d from the opera\u00a0Le pr\u00e9 aux clercs. This piece features exciting dialogue moments between the voice and the violin, making it especially fun for us to perform this piece together.<\/span><\/p>\nLarisa is especially proud to showcase the song \u2018Mi Rancho\u2019 by Puerto Rican composer Narciso Figueroa, and lyrics by Luis Llor\u00e9ns Torres, as a little gem from her homeland. Closing the performance is a medley based on Bernstein’s beloved\u00a0West Side Story\u00a0suite, arranged by our friend Charles Czarnecki. Based on an earlier violin and orchestra arrangement of the suite, this piece now sparkles in a new light.<\/span><\/p>\nWe are so happy to see this project come to fruition and are thrilled to be performing it with our friend Peter Dugan.” – Joshua Bell and Larisa Mart\u00ednez<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"92NY Presents \u201cVoice and the Violin\u201d Joshua Bell & Larisa Martinez, soprano October 20, 2022 Leading NYC cultural institution welcomes audiences to a live, in-person opener for their 22\/23 season The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY), one of New York\u2019s leading cultural venues, presents: \u201cVoice and the Violin\u201d: Joshua Bell and Larisa Martinez \u00a0 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9367,8246,7,8250,2015],"tags":[9669,2556,9671,3167,5448,9672,9670],"class_list":{"0":"post-25840","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"category-entertainment","9":"category-featured-posts","10":"category-hot-news","11":"category-most-popular","12":"tag-92ny","13":"tag-joshua-bell","14":"tag-larisa-martinez","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-nyc-new-york-city","18":"tag-voice-and-the-violin"},"yoast_head":"\n
