More than just a film composer: Nino Rota's viola sonatas at Sands Films Music Room
Like many 20th-century film composers, Nino Rota has suffered the curse of having his non-film music (of which there is a significant quantity) disappear behind his film scores. Yes, he wrote music for The Godfather, La Strada and 148 other film scores, but there are also 11 operas, three symphonies, concertos and much much more. And two viola sonatas, one dating from the 1930s and the other from 1945, and there is a chance to hear these later this month, when Lorena Canto (viola) and Yvain Calvo (piano) perform them at Sands Films Music Room on 15 July 2021.

Longy Celebrates Itself and Sings Itself
[…] shimmering trails of fireworks cumulating in startlingly bold bombast. Sparks also flew in Moritz Moszkowski’s Etincelles, harnessing ambitious explosions into a deceptively simple and playful piece. Although tempi felt unnecessarily pushed, Yao performed both with a machinist’s precision and clarity, as well as with an aesthete’s sensitivity and intelligence. Former Longy students Sophie Michaux (Master of Music ’12) accompanied by Adam Simon (Undergraduate Diploma, ’08) on guitar ended the concert with sultry cabaret, performing Maurice Yvain’s 1916 Mon Homme, and leading a procession out of Pickman Hall to a gala reception with Edith Piaf’s Milord. American Songbook and Broadway Revue: Sunday, September 27th, 4pm Longy’s centennial SeptemberFest concluded with lighter fare—a selection of Broadway songs selected from today as well as 1915 by singers of Opera at Longy, accompanied by music directors Tom Enman and Noriko Yasuda. The afternoon’s recital beneath a tent Harvard University’s Science Center Plaza was far […]
