Hudson Valley Music Club October Professional Concert

On Monday, October 28, at 1:00 PM, the Hudson Valley Music Club will present its first professional concert of the club’s 95th season. Pianist Yael Weiss, who has performed for the club several times in the past, will present an innovative program entitled,  “32 Bright Clouds: Beethoven Conversations Around the World”. Curated and performed by Ms. Weiss, this groundbreaking project commissions new works from 32 countries of conflict and secluded areas spanning the globe, all united through musical themes from Beethoven. 32 Bright Clouds aims to harness music’s great power for unity and peace.

All new compositions from around the world are unified by a single “Peace” motif from Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, creating a cohesive cycle of works. The motif was selected because of Beethoven’s compelling inscription “A Call for Inward and Outward Peace”above the notes. Beethoven’s dedication expresses the overall essence, purpose, and character of 32 Bright Clouds.

Ms. Weiss has performed across the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and South America at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Benaroya Hall, Moscow’s Bolshoi Hall and London’s Wigmore Hall.

A reception will be held after the concert where the audience can meet the artist and enjoy refreshments.
