Versatile Ukrainian-born pianist and Festival favorite Inna Faliks returns to Newport in a special concert at Castle Hill that ties together three centuries of music and a range of social commentary and interpretations with her acclaimed artistry and impressive technique. The program opens with Clara Schumann’s G minor Sonata which, though unpublished until 1991 and nearly forgotten, is a powerful testament to her profound gifts as a pianist composer. The second half of the program showcases Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit alongside new works by three important living composers, each commissioned in response to Ravel’s notoriously complex work.
This concert is dedicated in loving memory of Tia Scigulinsky in recognition of her decades of volunteerism and generous support of Newport Classical.
Enhance your concert experience with a beautiful seaside dinner prior to the performance inside the historic Aggassiz Mansion at the Castle Hill Inn. Guests of the Newport Classical may make a reservation between 5-6PM for a a special two-course “concert menu” HERE.
