An Evening of Rare Masterworks
Pianist Nate Sassoon presents a solo recital devoted to rarely performed gems of the classical and early-romantic repertoire, alongside selected Romantic works of his own. Known for his intellectual rigor, stylistic clarity, and expressive depth, Sassoon brings a historically informed sensibility to music that is too seldom heard on today’s concert stages.
The program includes works by Georg Anton Benda, Carl Maria von Weber, Franz Schubert, and Felix Mendelssohn, highlighting a lineage that bridges the Classical and Romantic eras. These pieces reveal a refined, intimate sound world—poised between elegance, emotional intensity, and structural invention—offering audiences a fresh perspective on familiar traditions.
The evening also features guest artist Marienn Sanchez, a Mexican violinist, who joins Sassoon for a special collaborative performance. Sanchez is recognized for her lyrical tone, technical brilliance, and compelling stage presence, bringing a vivid voice to the program.
Together, the artists offer a thoughtfully curated evening that celebrates rarity, craftsmanship, and musical dialogue
