"The Lost Art of the Recital"

In the early and mid 20th Century, cello and piano teams traveled the globe performing recitals for a public that thirsted to hear and meet their favorite artists. Fans were able to recognize these superb musicians by the quality of their individual sounds and the uniqueness of their musical language. But this art has been lost. Only a few recital superstars remain in a world that now hungers instead for pop culture, immediate satisfaction and a noise level prohibiting discussion.

Montgomery House for the Arts, in Malibu is presenting two evenings in remembrance of a time lost, when music lovers would gather for friendship, refreshments, and to discuss their favorite music, and, just as heartily, declare their individual opinions. A time when discussion, as one of the few forms of entertainment, was wielded effortlessly.

These evenings will present a dynamic cellist: the award-winning Andrew Shulman, who joins esteemed pianist Wendy Prober for a recital of exquisite gems of the classical repertoire. As the years fall away, allowing simpler times to emerge, the two will become one in performances of masterworks by Beethoven and Robert Schumann, a world premiere by MAHMA's Composer-in-Residence, Maria Newman, and a brilliantly riveting work of Erwin Schulhoff, who sadly perished in a concentration camp in World War II.
