MORE BEETHOVEN, THE GREAT!
WITH PIANIST BARBARA NISSMAN
& WV MUSIC FRIENDS
Special Guests Violinist Russell Fallstad and Cellist Sam Magill
Pianist Barbara Nissman returns to Carnegie Hall to present a third season of Carnegie Classics, a three- part concert series designed to introduce classical music to new audiences, as well as inspiring and entertaining all music enthusiasts.
Hosted by Steinway “legend” and recent 2023 West Virginia Music Hall of Fame inductee, Nissman invites the listener to travel with her to explore the composers’ world. She makes listening easy and music meaningful, and she shares her joy and passion for her composer “friends” and their great music with all of us. No education is required— just a set of ears to listen and an open heart to receive the joys of music!
On Saturday January 25, 2024 Barbara will be joined by friends: violinist Russell Fallstad, and cellist Sam Magill for More Beethoven, the Great! The featured work will be Beethoven’s “Archduke” Trio that Beethoven dedicated to his good friend and benefactor, Archduke Rudolph. Barbara will also introduce us to some popular piano works by the great master.
“What a joy for me to return for another season of great music performed on the beautiful Steinway at our wonderful Carnegie Hall! With this series we are expanding the audience for classical music, and it is so gratifying for me to share with my community the music that I love so much. We all need more joy in our lives these days, and music has the power to transport us into a magical world.” - Barbara Nissman
