Grace-Westminster United Church, 505 - 10th Street East
Toronto cellist Laura Jones will give a recital of evocative and exciting music with well-known pianist Boyd McDonald. A prominent Gustin graduate and concert artist, McDonald replaces Lawrence Jones, who is unable to perform in this recital due to an accident.
The program comprises Beethoven’s Sonata No. 5 in D-major for Cello and Piano and Brahms’ Cello Sonata No. 1 in e-minor, along with a recent work by Canadian composer, Jocelyn Morlock. As a special feature, the recital will begin and end with compositions of the two Romantic-era masters whose bicentennials are being celebrated worldwide during 2010: Five Pieces in Folk Style by Robert Schumann, and Polonaise Brillante by Frydryck Chopin. A pre-concert talk will take place at 6:45 p.m.
