Artistic Partner Daniel Hope and New Century Chamber Orchestra celebrate Mozart's birthday with a debut appearance by Israeli-American pianist Menahem Pressler. Marking the composer's birth date that same day, the all-Mozart program will showcase Pressler as soloist for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23. Also highlighted is the composer's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G Major, KV 216, featuring Daniel Hope as soloist, Adagio and Fugue in C minor, KV 546 and Symphony No. 29 in A Major, KV 201.
With a career that spans over six decades, American-Israeli pianist Menahem Pressler continues to perform throughout the world at the age of 94. Originally born in Germany, Pressler and his family fled Nazi Germany in 1939 and emigrated to Israel. After winning first prize at the 1946 Debussy International Piano Competition in San Francisco, Pressler went on to debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has since appeared with major orchestras in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Paris and many more. Praised by the Los Angeles Times for his "faultless, stylistically impeccable, emotionally irrepressible" technique, Pressler is also a leading figure in chamber music and served as the founding member of the Beaux Arts Trio as the ensemble's only pianist for 55 years. Daniel Hope served as violinist with the trio from 2002-2008 and together performed the ensemble's final tour of the United States in 2008.
