Jacqueline Farrell: Classical Sounds Evolved

Christ Episcopal Church 320 Pollock St., New Bern, NC, United States

Classically trained musician, Jacqueline Farrell, performs a solo piano recital based on the idea that music is a continuously evolving art form, both in a historical sense and in the short-term sense that it takes time for a piece of music to unfold. Starting with Beethoven’s classic “Waldstein” Sonata and ending with Chopin’s story-filled Ballade No.1, this performance is intended to take the audience on a journey of sound development and evolution. Other pieces on the program include Ravel’s Jeux d’eau, Berg’s Sonata for piano, and Jacqueline’s own improvisation on the Berceuse musical form. Enjoy these works and more in the beautiful acoustics of Christ Episcopal Church.
