Tea Lomdaridze to replace Warren Lee in “Brahms Addiction” concert on 22 June 2013

 

(Hong Kong, 18 June 2013) The Hong Kong Cellist Society (HKCS) announced that Ms Tea Lomdaridze, international concert pianist, will replace the advertised Mr. Warren Lee for concert “Brahms Addiction” on 22 June 2013 (This Saturday) at Concert Hall HKAPA. Warren Lee is unable to perform in this concert due to a left shoulder injury.

 

Updated programme information follows:

Brahms Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor Op. 38

Beethoven Piano Sonata in C sharp minor Op. 27 No. 14 (Moonlight Sonata)

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C sharp minor

Rachmaninoff Moments Musicaux Op 16 No 5 in D flat major

Rachmaninoff Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4 in E minor

Brahms Cello Sonata No. 2 in F major Op. 99

 

This is our fourth concert under the Forever Red Project. We journey into the life and works of Brahms, where you will discover his cello and piano music. Over twenty years separated Brahms’s two cello sonatas No. 1 in E minor and No. 2 in F major, and thus one is youthful yet tragic, while the second one is mature yet still heroic. Also Tea will share with you the romance of moonlight to the fiery gypsy Hungarian Dance, and the brilliant Moments Musicaux of Rachmaninoff. We hope this evening will seduce and enchant you, whisking you off to a world of passion, devotion, and hope.

Tea Lomdaridze 

International concert artist Tea Lomdaridze has been described as “… the young lioness of the keyboard…huge talent…the real thing” (Chicago Tribune),”…Hypnotizing…no one could fail to acknowledge that Miss Lomdaridze is an extraordinary musician.” (The London Times), “…provided evidence of an assured and discriminating musical intelligence yoked to a stage personality of unusual warmth and charm... Lomdaridze`s clarity of thought and meticulously calibrated dynamic control - she commands a seemingly infinite variety of louds and softs - were immediately apparent. I do hope Lomdaridze returns soon, and to a venue where more people can hear her. She has much to offer us” (Washington Post),

 

Tea has been the principal keyboard at Civic Orchestra of Chicago (the training orchestra for CSO) for three consecutive years. She has completed her Masters with Miss Mary Sauer (Principal Keyboard of CSO) at the DePaul University and has studied privately and at the seminars with pianists Alexander Toradze, Deborah Sobol, Sergei Dorenski, Joanna MacGregor, Peter Serkin, and Mitsuko Uchida among others.
