ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Ceasar Franck’s Violin Sonata in A major is one of the most beloved chamber works in the violin repertoire. Composed in 1886 as a wedding gift for the great violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, it is celebrated for its emotional depth and profound partnership between the violin and piano.
Frederic Chopin’s Fourth Ballade is often regarded as the most profound and structurally sophisticated of his four ballades. Ballade No. 4 in F minor stands as one of Chopin’s greatest achievements — a masterpiece of Romantic expression, depth, and pianistic artistry.
Camille Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso in A minor remains one of the most brilliant showpieces in the violin repertoire. The work combines French elegance with Spanish flair, reflecting the style and personality of its dedicatee.
BACKGROUND
Performers for Koreshan Music Salon concerts are all accomplished classical musicians, several of whom are currently with the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra and other important musical groups around the country.
The concerts also will feature a restored 1885 Steinway grand piano which was used by Koreshans in numerous concerts during their golden age.
The venue honors the Koreshan Unity Settlement which considered art and music an integral part of their lives. The Art Hall was built circa 1905. Gutshtein became interested in developing a cultural center there and, following reconstruction of the facility, she brought a New York architect to the Hall to ensure that it would provide the proper acoustics for chamber music.
It is the goal of Gutshtein and Sandler to make a lasting impact on the cultural life of Estero as well as make Estero an important cultural destination in Florida.
These concert series provide the cultural environment envisioned by the Koreshans for the enjoyment of the residents and visitors of today.
