<h2>A Musical Voyage: Italy, Poland, Germany</h2><h3>Wednesday, November 1, 2023</h3>1-2pm (PT), 2-3pm (MT), 3-4pm (CT), 4-5pm (ET) on ZoomIn honor Domenico Scarlatti&#x27;s birthday (Oct 26), Pianist Nada begins a beautiful program with the Neapolitan composer&#x27;s Seven Sonatas.Polish composer Frederic Chopin published his first set of Études in 1833, which he later dedicated to his friend Franz Liszt. Today, Nada plays a selection of five of the 12 Études, which make up his Opus 10, including:<ul><li>No 4 in C sharp minor – Torrent</li><li>No 5 in G flat Major – Black Keys</li><li>No 7 in C major – Toccata</li><li>No 8 in F Major – Sunshine</li><li>No 12 in C minor – Revolutionary Étude</li></ul>German-Jewish composer Felix Mendelssohn’s Variations Serieuses in D minor, op. 54 were written as part of a campaign to raise funds for a large bronze statue of Beethoven to be placed in his hometown of Bonn. Consisting of a theme and 17 variations, many of which require technical virtuosity, this Mendelssohn masterpiece is an exciting way to end the program. Save!

<h3>About Nada</h3>A United States citizen of Lebanese/Hungarian descent, with a French education, pianist Nada is a native of Beirut, Lebanon. Her piano training was hampered by the unrelenting civil war and terrorism which also cost her mother’s life in a mortar explosion in her own home in Beirut. Her family escaped to the mountains where Nada was mainly self-taught with a few books of music – the Bach inventions and the Chopin Waltzes &amp; Polonaises. After only seven years of playing the piano, she was admitted to the Paris Conservatory where she became the first woman from the Middle East to take First Prize.Several years later, after much concertizing, Nada came for advanced studies to the Banff Center in Canada and to Indiana University in Bloomington.Since then, she has created a career with tremendous depth and breadth. Her insightful readings and unique approach to the major music repertoire frequently reminds audiences and critics of the legendary pianists Gina Bachauer and Clara Haskil. More recently, she has been described as “a music personality of this century, such as a Glenn Gould.”Her repertoire ranges from early music to contemporary, although her most recent focus has been on the piano works of Johannes Brahms. She is one of very few to have recorded all of Brahms Piano solo works. Her recordings and performances of his music have received excellent reviews, awards, and responses from all over the world. Nada has performed internationally from concert halls of Salle Gaveau in Paris, Severance Hall in Cleveland, Yamaha Hall in Tokyo, Auditorium de Radio-France, Assembly Hall ( AUB), and venues such as Louisville orchestra, Lakeside Symphony, Lebanese National Philharmonic, Belgrade Chamber Orchestra, Dayton Arts Institute, Eastman School of Music, Salzburg Festival, Montpellier Festival to educational and pioneering venues, schools, hospitals and prisons.

<h2>Praise for Nada</h2>“Nada ‘s profound understanding of Brahms and her sensitivity to his work….she invited the listener to engage in a musical dialogue with Brahms” (Brahms Museum studies, Hamburg, Germany, 2020 )“This three disc collection is the one that sets her seal on her place in the Pantheon of Great Brahms interpreters” (Fanfare Magazine, September 2021)
