As part of a new and ongoing series, Point Reyes Chamber Concerts at the Dance Palace is proud to present music for Piano and Cello from Jennifer Kloetzel and Allegra Chapman.
Praised for her “ceaseless musicianship” (BBC Music Magazine) and “impressively passionate performances” (The Strad), cellist Jennifer Kloetzel has performed as soloist and chamber musician at Lincoln Center, the Ravinia Festival and Harpa Concert Hall (Reykjavik), Izumi Hall (Osaka) and the Eroica-Saal (Vienna). A Juilliard graduate and Fulbright scholar, she has premiered over 80 works. With over 38 released recordings, Jennifer’s “Beethoven: The Conquering Hero,”was chosen as “Recording of the Month” by BBC Music Magazine.
Acclaimed by the San Francisco Chronicle for her “fervid but impeccably controlled” performances, pianist Allegra Chapman is driven by her passion for connecting audiences with historically overlooked and living composers. With a wide-ranging repertoire of music from Bach to Ligeti, she maintains a busy concert schedule as soloist and chamber musician. Allegra is a member of Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and Chordless duo with soprano Sara LeMesh. She has performed internationally at venues including Cal Performances, Alice Tully Hall, San Francisco Jazz Center, and Xi’an Concert Hall. In 2023, her duo Chordless won First Prize in the Federation of the Art Song Fellowship Competition in New York. From 2020-2023, Allegra was the pianist of the award winning Delphi Trio and from 2017-2020, she was the founding co-artistic director and executive director of the critically acclaimed festival Bard Music West, a San Francisco-based branch of the Bard Music Festival that explored the worlds of composers from the past 100 years. Allegra is a graduate of the Bard Conservatory of Music and The Juilliard School. She is on faculty at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Pre-College division and makes her home in San Francisco with her family and over 1000 books.
