Pianists Dennis Russell Davies and Maki Namekawa perform "A Lotta Sonatas" in celebration of Lou Harrison's 109th birthday. Lou Harrison worked and taught for many years at Mills College — first as a piano accompanist for the Department of Dance at Mills College between 1937 and 1942 and then as the Darius Milhaud Chair of Musical Composition at Mills College between 1980 and 1985.
For their sixth appearance with Other Minds, the duo will perform works by Lou Harrison, William Bolcom, Joe Hisaishi, Philip Glass, Paul Hindemith, and Arvo Pärt. The Hisaishi and Glass sonatas were written especially for Namekawa.
This concert is part of Other Minds’s PastForward series.
