Listen Hear: Max Tan and Marisa Gupta: Carnegie Hall Recital Preview

Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!

Max Tan presents a concert previewing his Carnegie Hall recital debut on April 3, 2024. The program features Clara Schumann’s “Three Romances,” Thomas Ades’ “Märchentänze,” Igor Stravinsky’s “Divertimento,” Eugène Ysaÿe’s “Ballad” Sonata No. 3 for solo violin, and Richard Strauss’s Violin Sonata.

Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture. Inspired by Alex Ross’ book Listen to This, Soundbox events “approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world.”

Listen Hear: Ned Rorem’s Centenary: Celebrating His Life in Music and Words

Listen Hear Salon Concerts is an interactive exhibition for music. Each program examines a specific way we hear expression and meaning. Imagine walking into a musician’s living room and witnessing music being written, or artists gathering to explore chamber music…all with food and drink!

Curated by pianist Marisa Gupta and baritone Tom Meglioranza, this program honoring the centenary of the late American composer Ned Rorem centers on his masterpiece “Aftermath,” written in the wake of 9/11. Through 10 heart-wrenching songs for baritone and piano trio, Rorem’s “Aftermath” focuses on the universal experience of grief and loss and invites us to contemplate what it means to be human and at peace.

Curated by Max Tan, each salon-style event includes a Classical music program, insights from the artists, and conversation. The social atmosphere of these events redefines our modern concert culture.

Max Tan and Friends: Homewarming Part 2 - Faure and Brahms Piano Trios

Dear friends,

Since the last proper performance livestream I've broadcasted from my home last fall, my apartment has suffered through an immense flood ordeal. I am finally moved back in and with a restored home, I am happy to welcome music gatherings back into my living room. To celebrate, this will be the second of two weekend broadcasts, a "mini-festival" if you will.

I invite you to join me, Jinhee Park, and Chase Park for a piano trio program of works by the French composer Gabriel Fauré and Johannes Brahms. We hope this lovely program will be matched splendid and warm spring weather. During this program, we will dive into the music more deeply in the post-concert Zoom, and we look forward to seeing all of you for a wonderful discussion. See you there!

Program:

Gabriel Fauré: Piano Trio in D minor

Johannes Brahms: Piano Trio No. 1 in B major

Max Tan and Friends: Housewarming Part 1: Mozart's Hidden Sonatas

Dear friends,

Since the last proper performance livestream I've broadcasted from my home last fall, my apartment has suffered through an immense flood ordeal. I am finally moved back in and with a restored home, I am happy to welcome music gatherings back into my living room. To celebrate, this will be the first of two weekend broadcasts, a "mini-festival" if you will.

I invite you to join me and Jinhee Park for a delightful program of Mozart sonatas. We've chosen three that are rarely programmed on recitals. As we dive into them, I'm thrilled to use this rarely performed music in an experimental format to explore how we listen. As many of you know, I am very passionate about this subject. See you there!

Program:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Violin Sonata in B-flat major, K. 372

Violin Sonata in C major, K. 403

Violin Sonata in A major, K. 402
