Evan Kahn, Cello, Amy Zanrosso, Piano, 8/23/26
Ending music: Henriette Bosman Sonata excerpt. Folksong and lyricism, sweeping romantic drama and restless 20th century fire – join Evan and Amy as they present two of the greatest cello sonatas in the repertoire, exploring the expressive and radiant extremes of the cello and piano literature. An added bonus of Schumann folksong thrown in for good measure! Sunday 8/23 4PM St. Paul Lutheran Church of Oakland 1658 Excelsior Ave. Suggested $20-$40. Program: Five Pieces in Folk Style, Op. 102 - Robert Schumann i. Mit Humor “Vanitas vanitatum” ii. Langsam v. Stark und markiert Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 1 - Bohuslav Martinu i. Poco allegro ii. Lento iii. Allegro con brio Sonata for Cello and Piano in G Minor, Op. 19 - Sergei Rachmaninoff i. Lento - Allegro Moderato ii. Allegro scherzando iii. Andante iv. Allegro mosso California-based cellist Evan Kahn has been praised as “a cellist deserved of serious listening” for bringing his “electrifying … nuanced and colorful” style to all of his collaborations, from concerti to chamber music to contemporary performances. He has commissioned and premiered over 60 works by composers from around the world, including his father’s Cello Concerto. Evan holds principal positions in New Century Chamber Orchestra, Opera San Jose, and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra. Dedicated to the orchestral craft, he has also performed with the Cleveland Orchestra, LA Opera, San Francisco Symphony, and was previously principal cellist of the San Francisco Opera. In April/May 2018, he served as Artist-in-Residence with Performance Today at NPR, sharing some of his favorite works for cello and his philosophies on music and life. In February 2019, he was named Musical America’s New Artist of the Month (https://www.musicalamerica.com/news/newsstory.cfm?storyid=42059&categoryid=2&archived=0). He is a resident cellist for a number of Bay Area collectives, including Ninth Planet (https://www.ninthplanetmusic.org/), After Everything (http://www.aftereverything.com/), and the Farallon Quintet (https://farallonquintet.com/). Evan attended Aspen Music Festival on a fellowship for four summers, where he studied with Darrett Adkins and played co-principal in the Aspen Academy of Conducting Orchestra, the Aspen Philharmonic as an Orchestral Leadership Fellow, and as a fellow in the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble. Other summers were spent playing chamber music at the Taos School of Music, as resident cellist at the Cactus Pear Music Festival in San Antonio, and the New York String Orchestra Seminar, where he served as principal cellist. Evan received a Master’s in Chamber Music at San Francisco Conservatory of Music, studying with Jennifer Culp. He graduated with college and university honors from Carnegie Mellon University, studying with David Premo. Before college, he took lessons in Los Angeles with John Walz, Timothy Loo, and Karen Patch. Other important mentors include Paul Hersh, Thomas Loewenheim, Amos Yang, Mark Kosower, Robert DeMaine, and Bonnie Hampton. In addition to performing and teaching, Evan enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons and watching British television. He plays on a cello by Italian luthier Carlo Carletti, c. 1900, and a bow made for cellist Lynn Harrell by archetier Paul Martin Siefried. evandkahn.com (http://evandkahn.com/) Amy Zanrosso’s playing has been hailed as expressive, magnetic and masterful but since no one at the New York Times has said this, she’s not allowed to put it in quotes. Thanks to her attentive and industrious Italian immigrant mom, piano lessons started at the age of 6 and by the age of 15, Amy had made the decision to make music her life. As a soloist, Amy is addicted to the thrill of performing with orchestra. Since 2016, concerto repertoire, similar to chamber music but on steroids, has forced her to push her limits, helping make her into the confident and electrifying player she always hoped to be. She has appeared as soloist with the Santa Rosa Symphony, the Symphony of the Kootenays, the Russian Chamber Orchestra, the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra, Symphony of the Redwoods and the Kensington Symphony Orchestra. Her intense love of chamber music has led her to more fully admire and explore her favorite composers while sharing the experience with countless inspiring, dedicated players and appreciative audiences. Like performing, Amy finds teaching to be a highly rewarding part of a musician’s life. She is a faculty member and chamber music coach at the Pre-College Academy of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as well as at The Nueva School in Hillsborough, CA. She is constantly fueled by her fantastically inspiring students and enjoys forcing her favorite composers on them as well as telling them what to do. Amy is looking forward to all the superb music, musicians, students and enthusiastic audiences that will come her way in the future. Many thanks to Beethoven and Brahms for inspiring her to come this far – she wouldn’t change a thing.
