8:00 PM

Bates, Mozart, Bartók

Friday, May 31, 2013

Phenomenal French pianist David Fray joins lauded conductor Jaap Van Zweden for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20. CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates created Liquid Interface in 2006, inspired by the various states of water, from frozen to evaporated.

More About Liquid Interface: Composed after the time Mason Bates spent living on Berlin’s Lake Wannsee, Liquid Interface explores water in various climates. Movement by movement, Bates’ music explores increasingly warmer regions, one of which is New Orleans, dubbed the Crescent City because of its geographical location along a bend in the Mississippi River.

The Friday May 31 concert is a part of our POST series—$35 tickets include a 21+ after-concert lounge. Use promo code POST at checkout!

David Fray will sign copies of his recordings in Grainger Ballroom after the performance Saturday, June 1.
