Homewood House Museum's popular Peabody at Homewood
performance series — which showcases some of the most
promising musicians from the Peabody Conservatory amid the
splendid architecture and furnishings of the historic house
— begins this week.
The three Friday evening concerts will be held on
March 2, April 6 and May 4. Doors to the museum open at 5
p.m., and performances will be held at 5:45 p.m. in the
Reception Hall. Guests may meet the artists at a wine and
cheese reception following the performance.
A return appearance by duo Lukasz Kuropaczewski and
Anastasia Petanova will open the series, with a performance
of works by Paganini, de Falla, Piazzolla, Gismonti and
Beaser. Polish guitarist Kuropaczewski, who studies with
Manuel Barrueco, has been described as "a master technician
with artistic maturity well beyond his years." He is joined
by Russian virtuoso flutist Petanova, who has appeared as
soloist with the Moscow Virtuosi and the Russian National
Orchestra under Vladimir Spivakov on tours in Russia and
abroad. She studies with Marina Piccinini.
L'Armonia de Cieli, an ensemble specializing in
Renaissance and early Baroque music, will perform on April
6. The group includes Andrew Arceci, viola da gamba; John
Armato, lute; Ed Greenhood, lute and Renaissance guitar;
Bryce Peltier, recorders; and Julia Steinbok, soprano. They
will be playing from their current repertoire, which
includes works by Dowland, Bataille, Hume, Praetorius and
Huygens.
The final concert, on May 4, will feature virtuoso
violinist Sonya Chung, performing works by Bach, Ysaye,
Bartok and Shulamit Ran. Chung made her solo debut at age 9
with the Greater Richmond Symphony and with the Richmond
Symphony five years later. She has performed with members
of the Mendelssohn and Takacs quartets and as a guest
artist with the Peabody Trio. Chung studies with Violaine
Melancon.
