Pasternak's Music and Contemporary Poetry at the Season Finale of Music/Words

Dear SEELANGers,
If you live in the New York area or are visiting next week, you may be interested in 
attending this event.
Best,
Anna Dvigubski, Columbia University

Please join us for the season's last installment of the interdisciplinary series Music/Words at 
Ico Gallery, curated by the internationally acclaimed pianist Inna Faliks.  Faliks will also be 
celebrating the pre-release of her new CD on MSR Classics label, "Sound of Verse: Music of 
Ravel, Rachmaninoff and Boris Pasternak". Faliks will play selections from the new CD, and 
the poet Olga Livshin will read original poetry that explores and comments upon the music.

Olga Livshin and Inna Faliks both were born and raised in Odessa, a city on the Black Sea in 
the former Soviet Union.  Coincidences, connections, childhood experiences and the 
imagination connect the two artists, as does the rarely performed music composed by the 
young Pasternak, Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit (inspired by Aloysius Bertrand's poetry, here 
commented upon by Livshin's poetry), Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff.

WHEN ::: Thursday 21 May @ 7:30
