Join Katie Lansdale and Mark Irchai on Halloween for a program combining spells, enchantment, and diabolical music for violin! The magnificence and terror of Beethoven’s famous C Minor sonata is followed by the hypnotic lull of Debussy’s Beau Soir, the wild whirl of John William’s Devil’s Dance, Tchaikovsky’s Autumn Song, and a magical scene from China in Shengqian’s solo violin piece.
The performance will be preceded by a master class featuring Levine’s Merit violin and viola students.
Katie Lansdale has performed as soloist and chamber artist in North/South America and Europe, and on numerous American concert series, including the Phillips Collection, the Caramoor Series, and Lincoln Center’s Rose Room. Winner of Grand Prizes at the Fischoff and Yellow Springs national chamber competitions, Lansdale has collaborated in chamber concerts with artists such as Yo Yo Ma, Felix Galimir, Donald Weilerstein, the Miami Quartet, Robert MacDonald, and Charles Neidich. Lansdale’s concerto appearances have included the National Symphony, the Austin Mozart Orchestra, the Schroeder Classical Orchestra, the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, the NY Spectrum Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, and the New York Repertory Orchestra. In New York, where she founded the acclaimed Locrian new music group, Lansdale’s extensive chamber music concerts have ranged from Mostly Mozart at Lincoln Center with Yo Yo Ma to Merkin Hall with the Twentieth Centuryists; she now performs twice a year in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall with the Festival Chamber Society.
Lansdale studied with Josef Gingold, Felix Galimir, Ronda Cole, Donald Weilerstein, and Mitchell Stern. She graduated cum laude from Yale, where she was awarded prizes in both the arts and humanities, and earned graduate music degrees (M.M., D.M.A.) at the Cleveland Institute of Music and Manhattan School of Music. She has served on numerous summer festival faculties, including Kneisel Hall Chamber Festival, the Amalfi Coast Chamber Festival, Aria International Music Festival, and Music from Salem. She currently teaches at the Hartt School at the University of Hartford and at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, and previously held positions at Boston University and at State University of New York-Stony Brook
