……
Performed by Abhinay Reddy in collaboration with the UW–Madison Office of Sustainability’s Earth Fest series, this program is inspired by the persisting events of climate change, presenting a journey on nature’s crisis.
“Farewell Feathered Friends No.1” utilizes a recorded soundtrack detailing 5 different birds that are either extinct or classified as endangered. “Waterways Beneath the Polar Ice Shelf” and “Rising Oceans” detail the ideas of ice caps melting, threatening polar species and causing rising sea levels.
Following the intermission, the program will delve into “…And the Water Was Clear Again,” where there is an underlying theme of humans polluting and overusing our waterways, and the hope for a more sustainable future with purer water. “Earth” by Muramatsu showcases the beauty of our natural environment and what our planet could be like, free from climate change. But at last, “Amazonia” showcases the deforestation, land use, and extractivism of human nature, culminating in a climactic finale of pure destruction.
This recital calls out for us as humans to take action to prevent climate change from worsening even more, allowing us to experience the pathos of immense climate events and learn about climate change in an interdisciplinary way.

Piano Quartet in A major, op. 30 Ernest Chausson (1855-1899)

Piano Quartet no. 1 in g minor, op. 25 Johannes Brahms (1833-1897)
……
This recital is a joint effort of four doctoral students at the Mead Witter School of Music. Janet, Heejo, Jun, and Kwanho are all of Korean descent and became friends through that common thread.
As a joint recital between the four students where each will fulfill a degree-required recital credit in the same afternoon, the instrumentation required them to find two contrasting piano quartets. Ernest Chausson’s breathtaking opus 30 was written only two years before his untimely death and arguably has one of the best second movements to exist in piano quartet repertoire. Johannes Brahms’ opus 25 was premiered in Hamburg by none other than his most important interpreter and the object of his unrequited love, Clara Schumann.
This ambitious yet auspicious program aims to showcase the Korean talent at the Mead Witter School of Music and present a most wonderful labor of love for piano chamber music.
