Internationally renowned pianist INNA FALIKS tells her own story
through a unique blending of music and words. Her acclaimed
interpretations of Bach, Mozart and Chopin, as well as new
compositions including her own, illuminate her dramatic story.
Interwoven with the music, actress REBECCA MOZO reads the monologue
of Faliks' life: as a young girl in the 1980s she came to the U.S.
from Odessa, Ukraine with her parents to escape oppression and pursue
her dream of becoming a concert pianist. "This is a new form of
performance," Faliks told the Larchmont Buzz in a telephone
interview. "The world of theater and the world of classical music
performance, such as recitals, don't often mix. But I've focused on
the combination of poetry and music through my Music/Words program
that explores connections between poetry and music. This is slightly
different, yet the same." Read the Larchmont Buzz article by
clicking:
http://goo.gl/rFZHNI
Called "adventurous" and "passionate" by The New Yorker and "poetic"
by Time Out New York, Ukrainian-born pianist INNA FALIKS made her
debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She has since performed on
many of the world's great stages, with numerous orchestras and
conductors such as Leonard Slatkin and Keith Lockhart, and in solo
appearances in Carnegie Hall's Weill Concert Hall, Metropolitan
Museum of Art, Paris' Salle Cortot, Chicago's Orchestra Hall,
Moscow's Tchaikovsky Hall, to name some. She is a frequent recitalist
on Los Angeles County Museum of Art concerts. Critics praise her
"courage to take risks, expressive intensity and technical
perfection" (General Anzeiger, Bonn), and "poetry and panoramic
vision" (Washington Post). Previously based in New York City, Inna
was recently appointed to UCLA's Piano Faculty. Read about Inna

LAURI D. GOLDENHERSH's Weekly Highlights
For the full calendar, click:
http://www.laurislist.com/calendar
LONG BEACH OPERA opens their main season this weekend, with Tobias
Picker's steamy 'Thérèse Raquin', starring MARY ANN STEWART and ED
PARKS for just two performances at San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre.
(The second is next weekend.) Based on the scandalous novel by Émile
Zola and with a libretto by Gene Scheer, this 2001 opera is the story
of a woman forced into an unhappy marriage, and the affair that
results in murder and madness. Picker's music is lush and full of
angst, and these shows will likely sell out. Get yours on the LBO
website, but start with this "sneak peek" at one of the memorable
duets from the opera (video starts automatically) {JE: highly
recommended}:
http://youtu.be/HmbBWXoe-30
'La Boheme' marks the start of SAN DIEGO OPERA's season - their first
since reorganization - and is met with high hopes for the future.
(This means that empty seats will be scarce...) SDO favorite MORGAN
SMITHA returns as Marcello, with ALYSON CAMBRIDGE (Mimi), HAROLD
MEERS (Rodolfo), and SARA GARTLAND (Musetta) making their San Diego
Opera debuts. Four performances run 1/24 - 2/1. For info and tickets,
click:
http://goo.gl/3IZPHg
Local Baroque ensemble TESSERAE includes the beloved Wedding Cantata
from Johann Christoph Bach in this Friday's concert at St. Matthew's
in the Palisades. Their website and releases fail to tell us who's
singing, but the concert should provide a very enjoyable evening,
also featuring music by Buxtehude and ol' J.S. himself. Click:
http://goo.gl/vmIe2S
One recital, three concerts, two sopranos, two pianists — two of the
winners from the Beverly Hills Auditions make the rounds this
weekend, with concerts Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Encinitas,
Torrance, and Beverly Hills, respectively: ELISABETTA RUSSO and KARIN
MUSHEGIAN are accompanied by pianists VLADIMIR KHOMYAKOV and PAUL
ROMERO. Get more info and links to details for all three events by
