AN EVENING WITH JOHN EATON

At the piano and in his witty and sagacious comments, John Eaton provides unique entertainment. "Eaton reveals himself to be the complete pianist -- a bemused master of just about the whole spectrum of jazz language. His taste, imagination, wit, and I would say wisdom, flow with such naturalness." Nat Hentoff, The Nation. |

"PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE"
The comedy/drama by Steve Martin |
|
Steve Martin's award-winning play, produced here by Georgetown University's Mask & Bauble Society, which is currently celebrating its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Set in 1904, the play takes place just a year before Albert Einstein published The Special Theory of Relativity and three years before Pablo Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. The place is the Lapin Agile, the Parisian cabaret-bistro where young bohemian artists drank absinthe and wrote manifestos. The play revolves around an imaginary meeting between a passionate Pablo Picasso and an enthusiastic Albert Einstein in which they wave pencils in each other's faces and square off on the importance of art and science in the modern world. This fast-paced play is a prime example of Steve Martin's zaniness; even Elvis Presley puts in an appearance. But it's also filled with Martin's ideas on the power of art to change our lives. The two young men on the threshold of fame vie for the attentions of a young lady and for each other's respect in a hilarious battle of ideas about painting, probability, and the future of the Twentieth Century. |

SONATAS for PIANO and VIOLIN
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart |
|
The first in a major new series of three concerts comprising all 16 Sonatas for Piano and Violin by Mozart. These works represent a high point of the compositional output of this brilliant composer and a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire for these two instruments. Spanning 10 years from 1778 to 1788, the sonatas challenge the virtuosity of both performers and reward the listener with some of the most memorable moments in Mozart's music. They will be performed by Grammy-award winning pianist Lambert Orkis, and Lisa-Beth Lambert, now with the Philadelphia Orchestra and formerly with the National Symphony Orchestra. As Lambert Orkis will be using in these concerts a fortepiano similar to those used by Mozart himself, this instrument will act as a virtual time-machine, transporting the audience back to the musical sensations of an earlier epoch. Sonata in A Major, KV 305 Sonata in C Major, KV 303 Sonata in E Flat Major, KV 380 Sonata in G Major, KV 301 Sonata in F Major, KV 547 Sonata in B Flat Major, KV 378 |
