Polonaise Fantasie: Story of a Pianist INNA FALIKS piano, with actress REBECCA MOZO CAMERON WATSON director Sunday, January 25, 2015 - 5:00PM Ebell Club Lounge 741 S Lucerne Blvd, Los Angeles CA (Lucerne & Wilshire, between La Brea & Crenshaw) [midWilshireLA][Free] For a Google map, click: http://goo.gl/dDBKp5 Internationally renowned pianist INNA FALIKS tells her own story through a unique blending of music and words. Her acclaimed interpretations of Bach, Mozart and Chopin, as well as new compositions including her own, illuminate her dramatic story. Interwoven with the music, actress REBECCA MOZO reads the monologue of Faliks' life: as a young girl in the 1980s she came to the U.S. from Odessa, Ukraine with her parents to escape oppression and pursue her dream of becoming a concert pianist. "This is a new form of performance," Faliks told the Larchmont Buzz in a telephone interview. "The world of theater and the world of classical music performance, such as recitals, don't often mix. But I've focused on the combination of poetry and music through my Music/Words program that explores connections between poetry and music. This is slightly different, yet the same." Read the Larchmont Buzz article by clicking: http://goo.gl/rFZHNI Called "adventurous" and "passionate" by The New Yorker and "poetic" by Time Out New York, Ukrainian-born pianist INNA FALIKS made her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. She has since performed on many of the world's great stages, with numerous orchestras and conductors such as Leonard Slatkin and Keith Lockhart, and in solo appearances in Carnegie Hall's Weill Concert Hall, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Paris' Salle Cortot, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Moscow's Tchaikovsky Hall, to name some. She is a frequent recitalist on Los Angeles County Museum of Art concerts. Critics praise her "courage to take risks, expressive intensity and technical perfection" (General Anzeiger, Bonn), and "poetry and panoramic vision" (Washington Post). Previously based in New York City, Inna was recently appointed to UCLA's Piano Faculty. Read about Inna Faliks by clicking: http://innafaliks.com/ Tickets: $40.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA VOCAL EVENTS LAURI D. GOLDENHERSH's Weekly Highlights For the full calendar, click: http://www.laurislist.com/calendar LONG BEACH OPERA opens their main season this weekend, with Tobias Picker's steamy 'Thérèse Raquin', starring MARY ANN STEWART and ED PARKS for just two performances at San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre. (The second is next weekend.) Based on the scandalous novel by Émile Zola and with a libretto by Gene Scheer, this 2001 opera is the story of a woman forced into an unhappy marriage, and the affair that results in murder and madness. Picker's music is lush and full of angst, and these shows will likely sell out. Get yours on the LBO website, but start with this "sneak peek" at one of the memorable duets from the opera (video starts automatically) {JE: highly recommended}: http://youtu.be/HmbBWXoe-30 'La Boheme' marks the start of SAN DIEGO OPERA's season - their first since reorganization - and is met with high hopes for the future. (This means that empty seats will be scarce...) SDO favorite MORGAN SMITHA returns as Marcello, with ALYSON CAMBRIDGE (Mimi), HAROLD MEERS (Rodolfo), and SARA GARTLAND (Musetta) making their San Diego Opera debuts. Four performances run 1/24 - 2/1. For info and tickets, click: http://goo.gl/3IZPHg Local Baroque ensemble TESSERAE includes the beloved Wedding Cantata from Johann Christoph Bach in this Friday's concert at St. Matthew's in the Palisades. Their website and releases fail to tell us who's singing, but the concert should provide a very enjoyable evening, also featuring music by Buxtehude and ol' J.S. himself. Click: http://goo.gl/vmIe2S One recital, three concerts, two sopranos, two pianists — two of the winners from the Beverly Hills Auditions make the rounds this weekend, with concerts Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Encinitas, Torrance, and Beverly Hills, respectively: ELISABETTA RUSSO and KARIN MUSHEGIAN are accompanied by pianists VLADIMIR KHOMYAKOV and PAUL ROMERO.
