MUSIC & SPOKEN WORD
Presenting INNA FALIKS on the piano and ERIC BRAEDEN reading Brecht
Selection of poetry by Louis Fantasia
Music/Words is an interdisciplinary live performance series exploring connections between poetry and music.
Movements of the Sonata will be alternating with readings of Brecht’s poetry, some of which were created during his years in exile in Santa Monica.
Schoenberg and Brecht were frequent guests at Villa Aurora, as were other intellectuels and artists of the time.
Ukrainian-born Inna Faliks has established herself as one of the most passionately committed, exciting and poetic artists of her generation. After her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she has performed on many of the world’s great stages, with numerous orchestras, in solo appearances, and with conductors such as Leonard Slatkin and Keith Lockhart.
She was the winner of many prestigious competitions, including the International Pro Musicis Award 2005. Inna is Associate Professor for piano at UCLA. She is also the founder and curator of Music/Words – www.musicwordsnyc.com
